Truth be known, while AI mildly scares me, I have been having a lot of fun playing with some of the latest Artificial Intelligence apps, in particular Chat GPT.
I love seeing what it answers when I ask questions that probably only a owner of a picnic brand would ask ... but things I find interesting and want to find out.
Today I wondered what the 10 most popular picnic foods around the world would be, which is what I wanted to share with you in this article.
The hashtag numbers in bold are the first top 10 list that the AI generated for the most popular foods enjoyed at picnics, the other 10 are the top ten of that food type ... just to broaden the scope for picnic food ideas.
No surprise given usage on the internet over time that the foods listed in the top 20 were very American, but in any case I hope it provides some insight and inspiration when packing a feed for your next picnic.
