I looked into the future and asked AI what the town centre will be like in 2030 after the Queensmere Observatory Shopping Centre redevelopment and here is what it said.

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are taking over modern technology with softwares like ChatGPT becoming more popular.

ChatGPT has taken the internet by storm recently with the text-based AI answering any question you ask and people have even used it to write letters, messages and essays.

So, we thought we'd try ChatGPT and see what it could come up with when asked what the future in Slough could look like.

The first request was to ask ChatGCP what Slough is going to look like in 2030:

In recent years, Slough has experienced significant growth, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years. Here are some possible developments that could shape the look of Slough in 2030:

Further expansion of businesses and industries: Slough is a hub for various industries, including pharmaceuticals, technology, and logistics. It's possible that more companies will be attracted to the area in the coming years, leading to further economic growth and job opportunities.

Increased emphasis on sustainability: With climate change becoming an increasingly pressing issue, there may be a greater focus on sustainability in Slough in the future. This could include more investment in renewable energy sources, public transportation, and eco-friendly building designs.

Continued development of infrastructure: Slough is already well-connected to major transport routes, such as the M4 motorway and Heathrow Airport. However, there may be further investment in transportation infrastructure, such as improved rail connections and new bus routes, to support the town's growth.

Growing diversity: Slough is already a diverse and multicultural area, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years. This could lead to the development of new cultural and community centers, as well as more diverse food and entertainment options.

Overall, Slough is likely to continue to grow and evolve in the coming years, with new businesses, infrastructure, and cultural developments shaping its future.

I then asked the AI what the town will be like after the Queensmere Observatory Shopping Centre redevelopment?

Redevelopment typically involves the demolition or renovation of an existing building or area to create new residential, commercial, or industrial spaces. The specific details of the redevelopment project depend on factors such as the location, local zoning laws, and the developer's goals.

In the case of the Queensmere Observatory Shopping Centre, the redevelopment project could potentially involve demolishing the existing shopping center and replacing it with a new mixed-use development, including shops, restaurants, residential units, offices, and public spaces.

The new development could potentially bring new life to the area, attracting more visitors, residents, and businesses to the town. It could also create new job opportunities and improve the local economy. However, the specifics of the project and its impact on the area will depend on the plans and decisions of the developers, local government officials, and other stakeholders involved in the process.

While using the software I ran into multiple issues and crashes.

While I am aware AI can't know the future, it was fun to see what it could come up with.
