Comparing Lists - ChatGPT; is it Reliable for Recommendations?

   

According to a report from Australia, which considered the responses of 1,370 people from several different coffee shops. Below are what the respondents chose to be their priority factors when choosing a coffee shop, the percentages corresponding with the number of them who ranked these factors in their top five.

Coffee taste/strength – 88%
Coffee quality – 87%
Convenient location 84%
Pleasant ambience – 76%
Quick service 73%

Australians are known to be the ultimate coffee snob, playing a huge part in their culture, having put their nose up to the notorious Starbucks, closing all shops back in 2008. And so these will be the factors I will be using to determine the order of this list.


To have a basis of what coffee shops to visit and rank accordingly, Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, better known as ChatGPT was used to answer "Top 10 coffee shops in Glasgow". The artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot gave the following answers:

1. Papercup Coffee Company
2. The Steamie
3. Avenue G Cafe
4. Laboratorio Espresso
5. Riverhill Coffee Bar
6. Kaf Coffee
7. McCune Smith Cafe
8. MILK Cafe
9. Tinderbox
10. Buchanan Street Coffee

To note, as ChatGPT is still in its infancy stage it remains to have much progress to go before it will be completely up-to-date with live information from the internet. As such, the tenth position 'Buchanan Street Coffee' cannot be sourced, whether this used to be a cafe or is a mistake on ChatGPT's behalf is unknown. Although more likely have closed, as positions seven, three, and two are now closed down, unfortunately, you won't be able to try out these coffee shops.

So we will opt to use instead Cafe Nero, Greggs, Starbucks, and Costa based in Glasgow. These have the highest amount of coffee stores around the UK, as well as being the most widely recognised coffee shop brands. The list now looks like this:

1. Papercup Coffee Company
2. Costa
3. Starbucks
4. Laboratorio Espresso
5. Riverhill Coffee Bar
6. Kaf Coffee
7. Greggs
8. MILK Cafe
9. Tinderbox
10. Cafe Nero

Will these coffee shops in reality really match up to expectations? 


We will examine the Top 10 list given by ChatGPT in the following blog posts, keep your eyes peeled as you will not want to miss out on the opportunity to finally find out 'Does ChatGPT actually give good recommendations?'. Not only this but will allow both native coffee lovers in Glasgow and those travelling to the city the ultimate guide to a great cup of coffee.

Roast & Review: Let the Coffee Commence (1)

Click the picture at the top to view the menu of blog posts. A latte is my go-to choice, as well as only being behind a flat white and black americano in popularity among the population of the UK, this is the drink that will be compared throughout the reviewing process. Having no customisations made towards a medium/regular size of all of the drinks, to have a fair comparison. Each coffee shop factor will be ranked from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest rating. 10. Caffe Nero Coffee taste/strength 4 Coffee quality 4 Convenient location 4 Pleasant ambience 5 Quick service 4 The coffee from Caffe Nero has a nice robust flavour to it, the strength is pronounced but not too strong. The location of the one I went to in Glasgow was on Argyle Street, though there are more than a handful of locations within a 5-minute walk of Central Station. With chilled music playing and low lighting, it would be a great location to study or read a book. The service is prompt, and I got served my coffee withi...

Coffee Competition Completed (4)

Click the picture at the top to view the menu of blog posts. 1. Papercup Coffee Company Coffee taste/strength 5 Coffee quality 5 Convenient location 5 Pleasant ambience 5 Quick service 5 Papercup Coffee Company was one coffee shop I genuinely could not find a fault in regarding these factors, or any for that matter. One of the top-tasting coffees I have ever tried, the strength of my coffee was spot on. The quality from this little cafe is outstanding, you can tell from the taste of this cup, that the beans used have been freshly ground and of high quality, allowing for a more in-depth nuttiness and natural sweetness to my latte while still being smooth. The ambience was idyllic, with welcoming staff and comfortable seating, having some booth seats with lots of cushions, easy to relax once I entered, with low soothing music playing. I was served almost immediately on arrival in the Papercup Coffee Company cafe, and so overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and plan on returnin...

Coffee Collation (3)

Click the picture at the top to view the menu of blog posts.  4 . Laboratorio Espresso Coffee taste/strength 5 Coffee quality 5 Convenient location 4 Pleasant ambience 3 Quick service 5 This modern Italian-style little cafe in the center of the city is a must-try, the latte being made to perfection and having a smooth full-bodied taste again having a double espresso shot in it. Coffee quality from here would make the Italians proud - having exceptional quality, a slight sweetness and some nuttiness to it. Situated in the middle of Buchanan Bus Station, Queen Street and Central Station, there is no excuse not to stop by for a quick caffeine fix. The ambience could have been more relaxed, although the coffee and quick service made up for this. 3. Starbucks Coffee taste/strength 3 Coffee quality 3 Convenient location 4 Pleasant ambience 4 Quick service 3 With its consistently rich flavour profile and its harsh strong coffee quality Starbucks house blend people either swear by it - or ...
