ARTIFICIAL Intelligence (AI) is growing ever-popular as it can, supposedly, answer anything, so we asked it to make a new Monopoly board based on our town.

Artificial intelligence is designed to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making of the human mind.

So, we thought we'd try ChatGPT and see what it could come up with when asked to create a new Monopoly board based on Bracknell.

We used the following prompt: "If you were making a Monopoly game board for Bracknell, which locations would you pick for each colour? Pick three locations for each colour."

Here's what it came up with:
