  In that AI defense, there’s nothing to visit/do in Ottawa except a bunch of museums and canal/river visit, and even that not recommended to swim due to Ecoli, so I would struggle too to list 10 attraction points or similar.

  I recently spotted a crazy tourism article about visiting cathedrals, with a listicle and photos of the putative tourists. It was hilarious.

  First they named at least three massive, famous non-cathedrals and didn't even attempt to explain or qualify their classification.

  The photos clearly depicted a woman and a girl in sleeveless, light summer dresses, and I was screaming. They'll never be admitted to church dressed like that, but this was explained, and then they were pictured donning shawls.

  It was just a random clickbait from my feed, but it was peak irresponsible journalism.
