AI is everywhere these days.

You can't scroll through social media without coming across a questionable image that makes you question reality.

What's real anymore?

Surfing the internet has always been a slightly scary place, trying to avoid scams and false information.

Now, with the increasing presence of AI, it has been getting worse.

However, AI isn't all bad. ChatGPT can be a useful tool, especially in my job.

Today I was struggling to figure out what to write about so I turned to ChatGPT for some assistance.

I asked the AI tool:

What are the best things about the Jersey Shore?

I was concerned that it would tell me all of the best things about the show Jersey Shore, but I was pleased when ChatGPT understood the brief.

10. Friendly Communities

I would agree with AI for number 10. When you go up and down the shore, you are met with friendly people who are proud of their towns. The business owners at the Jersey Shore are truly the best.

9. Festivals and Events

Once summer hits, I don't think there is a weekend that goes by that doesn't have some sort of event at one of the shore towns.

Between food truck festivals and concerts, the Jersey Shore is the place to be in the summer if you love an event.

8. Historic Sites

As New Jersey was one of the original 13 colonies, which means the Garden State is full of history.

I don't know if I would put this at number 8, but if you love history as much as I do the shore is full of some amazing sites.

7. Wildlife and Nature

ChatGPT and I disagree here.

Before you start yelling at me through the screen, I think wildlife and nature should be higher. One of my favorite things to do is to go on a hike at Cattus Island.

6. Nightlife and Entertainment

We are fortunate to have so many amazing towns on the shore for a fun night out.

We have Asbury, Belmar, Point Beach, Seaside, and Atlantic City...just to name a few great towns with an amazing nightlife scene.

5. Great Seafood

I couldn't imagine living in the middle of the country and not having access to fresh seafood.

I love watching all of the fishing boats coming and going in Point Pleasant.

4. Water Sports

Again, I don't know if I agree with ChatGPT's placement here.

This is just my own opinion and if you love water sports, you may agree with the AI.

I don't know the last time I participated in any "water sports," but I can see why others would have water sports up this high on the list.

3. Family-Friendly Activities

I always consider myself very blessed to have grown up at the Jersey Shore. There was always so much to do.

I couldn't even count how many times we went to Six Flags or spent a summer night on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach.

2. Boardwalks

New Jersey isn't just home to the first boardwalk, but also the longest boardwalk.

The answer to both is Atlantic City.

To me, it's not summer yet until I get a chocolate-vanilla twist with chocolate sprinkles at Kohr's and a slice of pizza.

I'll have to give this one to ChatGPT, they placed boardwalks perfectly on this list.

1. Beautiful Beaches

ChatGPT is spot on, not just by placing beaches at number one, but also for referring to them as "beautiful."

There is nothing I love to do more in the summer than sit on the beach at Island Beach State Park.
