Are you also taking the help of AI to plan a trip? So keep these things in mind before starting the journey

AI chatbots are making everyday life easier. But there are some disadvantages of relying on AI. Many people are now taking the help of ChatGPT or Google Gemini to make travel plans or budgets. But how reliable is it?

A large number of tourists on social media have expressed their concerns about the use of AI in travel planning. It has come to light that they are not able to plan according to the instructions of AI. In some cases, AI has shown the wrong opening time of various tourist attractions of the destination. In some cases, it has suggested traveling by car for 24 hours without stopping. Actually, AI can give wrong answers to instructions when reaching a decision by combining small information. Therefore, many people think that it is not right to blindly trust AI chatbots for travel planning. For example, the advanced model of Open AI (ChatGPT) has been successful in only 10 percent of cases in long-term complex travel planning. As a result, it can be estimated how much risk tourists can face when reaching the destination by relying on AI.

Some things to keep in mind

1) AI prepares the initial answer based on the information already given. But the time of flight, train or bus and booking information can change at any time. Therefore, in such a situation, information should be collected from Google or related websites.

2) In the tourism industry, it is possible to book different hotels based on different models. Different websites and apps also show the prices of different hotels. AI cannot yet show this complex calculation in real time. Therefore, AI should not be relied upon for hotel booking as well.

3) At different times of the year, there may be many changes in a tourist destination according to festivals, political or social conditions. AI cannot show it to the user multiple times. This chatbot trick (AI illusion) can put tourists at risk. Many times, even when collecting information from old websites, the user is not able to get the correct information.

4) According to the advice of various tour operators, AI is useful for getting information about a destination for travel. But one should not start the journey based on that information. After getting the initial information, one should check the information from related websites and various social media forums and take a decision.
