Artificial Intelligence, or AI, can sound a little scary, but it can also be used for a lot of good!

Looking for something to do this weekend? We found a website that uses Chat GPT (AI technology) to plan a trip anywhere in the world. A basic version of the site, called forgemytrip.com, is completely free. Just enter where you want to go and when, and technology will take over–planning a morning, afternoon, and night itinerary in mere seconds.

We decided to put it to the test and plan a last-minute day trip to Chippewa Falls this Saturday. Here’s the itinerary we got:

☀️ Morning: Grab breakfast at Bridge Street and start the day with a guided tour of the Leinenkugel’s Brewery (a 15 minute drive from breakfast.)

🌥 Afternoon: Head to Chippewa Falls Museum of Industry and Technology to learn about the town’s history.

🌙 Evening: Grab something to eat at the Fill-Inn Station (6 minutes from the museum), and explore Lake Wissota State Park (20 minutes from dinner.)

HEADS UP: If you’re not subscribed to the site, forgemytrip.com won’t let you copy and paste your itinerary, so get ready to pull out your laptop, or grab a pad of paper to jot down notes!

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
