Özet:

With the growth of artificial intelligence technology, the capacity to construct human-like messages is gradually improving. ChatGPT is an OpenAI chatbot that understands and responds to natural language inputs using the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) language model. ChatGPT is acknowledged as a breakthrough that reshapes and revolutionizes human life. As a result, it has piqued the interest of academics in a variety of sectors and has begun to be employed. The fast advancement of technology, as well as changes in people's lifestyles, generate significant shifts in recreation patterns. However, no study in the literature has been identified that investigates how ChatGPT would contribute to the recreation-related industries and its significance for the recreation sector. The project is to investigate the possibility for using ChatGPT in the field of recreation and how it may lead the field using ChatGPT data. Instead of a human interviewer, ChatGPT, a machine learning model capable of creating human-like sentences, was employed in the study. In the study, research questions were developed to assess the search subjects, trends, and concerns of ChatGPT users in the recreation sector, as well as ChatGPT's potential contributions to the field's future. The researcher's research questions are pasted on the ChatGPT question screen (https://chat.openai.com/chat) and ChatGPT's replies are used in the study. In accordance with the study's objectives, research questions were posed to ChatGPT on 1.04.2023, and the responses were recorded. According to the findings of the study, users utilize ChatGPT to learn about recreational activities, locations, equipment, and materials. ChatGPT users have been spotted searching for information about leisure activities such as hiking and water sports, as well as recreational sites such as national parks and beaches, and recreational goods such as camping equipment and sleeping bags. While users in Turkey are mostly seeking for vacation ideas, it has been discovered that users in other countries are primarily interested in learning about travel routes, nature walks, mountaineering, camping, and other outdoor activities. Glamping, eco-friendly holidays, walking tours, bike tours, water sports, yoga and meditation vacations, nutrition and detox vacations, and wellness vacations are among the trends followed by ChatGPT members. Based on the study's findings, ChatGPT provides rapid and simple access to information, ideas and recommendations, individualized suggestions, pleasant usage, and new trend potential in the sphere of recreation. Furthermore, it has been concluded that ChatGPT can change the field's future by offering virtual recreation, data analysis, and long-term recreation help. According to the findings, ChatGPT has the ability to contribute to the recreation and associated areas. It is expected that the usage of ChatGPT in the sphere of recreation will lead to further research and further improvements in this sector in the future.
