ChatGPT helped a New York-based writer plan a coffee shop crawl for National Coffee Month, offering guidance on how a non-coffee drinker can celebrate. The writer, who usually drinks orange juice in the morning, asked ChatGPT for the best ways to celebrate, noting they live in New York and want to try unique coffee blends. ChatGPT advised avoiding a giant black coffee and instead suggested a coffee-tasting adventure, highlighting New York’s diverse specialty scene, including Japanese siphon coffee, Korean-influenced drinks, ultra-light Ethiopian beans, and creative espresso drinks. The chatbot laid out a five-step challenge: start with a coffee that doesn’t taste like typical coffee, try a coffee-based dessert drink, seek coffee prepared in a completely different way, taste a single-origin coffee to notice flavors, and finish with NYC’s most experimental specialty coffee. ChatGPT also provided a hitlist of six coffee shops with one-of-a-kind flavors worth sampling. The writer plans to follow this game plan for the rest of August, aiming to explore notable coffee shops across the city’s boroughs during weekend free time.
