However, in 2024 ChatGPT has deemed another place even less attractive: Llucmajor.
It has not given the reasons why it has categorised it in this way, although it has stated that “although it is a large town with a certain charm, its more urban character and modern development may make it feel less picturesque”.
The AI platform is very politically correct, as it does not make any kind of classification based on the word ‘ugly’, as this is subjective and depends on one’s taste. But if you use imaginative formulas with similar terms, the truth is that it softens its stance by offering a particular ranking of three “less attractive” cities, according to the tool itself.
Together with Llucmajor, ChatGPT has placed Manacor in second place and Inca has also appeared as the third municipality on the list.
However, it is not clear what criteria has been used to position the towns, as “these are only subjective perceptions and each place has its own unique character and attractiveness”, as the tool itself has clarified.
In 2018, Manacor was considered the ugliest town in Mallorca, after a contest that was organised by the well-known satirical magazine Foc i Fum.
The result provoked all kinds of reactions and comments among the users who took part in this curious vote.
And, six years later, Manacor has not managed to shake off the label of ugly municipality, despite the fact that the AI has awarded Llucmajor the ‘honour’ of being the “least beautiful”.
Despite having included these three towns on the list, the platform has recommended visiting them so that the user can make up their own minds.
Do you agree?

Morgan WilliamsNice try, but as you obviously are unable to, I will wait for someone else to chime in. By the way, your “apparent obliviousness” quotation is becoming rather boring. It’s the second time you’ve used it this week. Maybe Mary could come up with a better one.
Richard PearsonOf course *you* wouldn't get it. But I'm rather confident that most others do. "The apparent obliviousness makes it twice as effective".
Morgan WilliamsEven if you tried, there is no way you could explain what you mean by that comment.
Richard PearsonWell, you certainly appear to be (unwittingly?) at the front of the line championing the advancement of that "thin ice".
“We have the spectacle of the powers and weapons of man far outstripping the march of his intelligence; we have the march of his intelligence proceeding far more rapidly than the development of his nobility. We may well find ourselves in the presence of “the strength of civilization without its mercy.”” Winston Churchill 1931 Zoltan, he envisaged the problems we are now facing, artificial or otherwise, long before they had ever been thought of. Personally, I think we are walking on very thin ice.
All of them qualify given the amount of graffiti everywhere these days.
TDPlease keep my wife out of this
Zoltan TeglasTrue
@Richard Pearson. To be fair if anyone is qualified to talk about ugly, it is you!
Richard PearsonArtificial intelligence is better than no intelligence!
