Can artificial intelligence plan a trip?: Pros and cons of its use
Artificial intelligence is positioned as an ally to plan trips, but how recommended it is really?
Although it facilitates the organization and saves time, experts recommend reviewing all the information and contrast it with reliable sources before traveling. (Photo: Free Press / Shuttersock)

A Matiné from Friday night? Citing the Gershwin, it doesn’t have to be so. But that was what the modern artificial intelligence suggested when he was asked to plan a visit to Broadway.
When they asked me to evaluate what does well and what does AI badly plan to plan a trip to New York City, I felt curious and qualified for the task: reside in Manhattan since 1989, I usually guide family and friends who visit and have written about technology, including chatbots, since the 1990s.
I tried several planning sites with the same request: create an itinerary for two people visiting New York from April 17 to 20. The plan had to include an affordable hotel – less than $ 250 per night – in the city center, visits to emblematic places or museums, a matiné function of a Broadway award -winning show and the best place to eat pizza. I also asked that indications accessible from the hotel be included to each site, and then I consulted on options if children were traveling in the group.
Although most of the sites recommended the classic places in New York, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the user experience varied. All sites analyzed use, in some way, OpenAI software (The New York Times has an active demand against OpenAi for copyright).
A friendly interface
Mindrip, free and with an attractive initial page, was the most cozy planner for beginners. He proposed visits to the statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, and included the POD 51 hotel, although its “minimalist chic” style may not be ideal for families.
Among his successes, he included a visit to the Brooklyn bridge and Grimaldi’s Pizza. Among his mistakes, he placed the statue of Liberty and Empire State Building in the same morning, before Hamilton’s Matiné function, which is unrealistic. Surprisingly, the Tenement Museum recommended as a hidden jewel.
Details in advance
Vacay, free with a prémitium option for $ 10 per month, has a more textual and precise interface. His free version suggests destinations such as Bethesda Terrace and Strawberry Fields within Central Park. He proposed the POD 39 hotel and provided specific subway routes and bus. However, it also incurred the mistake of proposing a matinee on Friday night.
Chatgpt: versatility and logic
Chatgpt, free and with payment plans from $ 20 per month, proposed to stay in Pod 51. It showed logic when grouping activities per zone, such as combining the visit to the statue of freedom with the 11-S memorial. However, he also suggested functions in Friday and calculated unrealistic transfer times. In favor, he recommended the High Line and the Chelsea market.

Trust in known brands
TripAdvisor, with 25 years of experience, also offers a plan with AI. He suggested the Hotel Pod Times Square and offered the best recommendations for children, such as the Hayden Planetarium and the Alice’s Tea Cup restaurant. However, the latter was wrongly located on the east side of the park. He added pizza options such as Don Antonio and Capizzi, in addition to the usual Joe’s and John’s.
TripAdvisor included a discharge of responsibility: “AI is not perfect, but it will help you know what to do.”
Conclusion
All travel planners with AI warn that information may not be accurate. It should be reviewed all twice. It is best to start with a basic scheme -fechas, hotel location – and then build the step by step itinerary. Although they are still used mainly to plan and investigate, autonomous agents such as Operator, from Openai, could soon also be responsible for making reservations. Therefore, it should be verified that the itinerary is correct before embarking on the trip.
Artificial intelligence has facilitated planning, but human verification is still necessary.
