We asked ChatGPT to roast Nashville

Here’s what ChatGPT came up with for a good-natured roast of Music City. Spoiler alert: It didn’t hold back.

Nashville has plenty to brag about, but it’s not above a good roast.

That’s why we handed the mic to ChatGPT, the online AI chatbot that uses natural language processors to generate text-based responses, to have a little fun at Music City’s expense. After all, sometimes you have to be able to take a joke to make one.

Editor’s note: ChatGPT responses have been edited for brevity.

How’s Nashville’s traffic?
“Let’s talk potholes. You’ll spend most of your drive avoiding craters that could swallow a small car. It’s not a work commute, it’s a game of “Will my suspension survive this?”

Poke some fun at the weather here in Nashville.
“Nashville weather is like guessing a punchline. One minute it’s sunny and 70, then hailing, and by dinner, you’re dodging tornado warnings. Forecast? Flip a coin.”

But the nightlife scene is great, right?
“Broadway is the one place where plans are made for you: You’ll get hit on by tourists, hit in the face by a bachelorette party, and at some point, someone will convince you that you’re definitely ready for that mechanical bull.”

Dare we ask, how’s the parking situation?
“Ah, parking. You’ll circle the same block 10 times, only to find the closest spot is miles away. Surprise, it’s $30 an hour.”
