In today's world, we are using AI (Artificial Intelligence) for many tasks. From writing a short email to getting career advice, we are using AI for everything. Many people are even using AI to plan their vacations.

It has become our personal travel agent. In just a few seconds, it can create a complete itinerary for your entire week. But have you ever considered that the AI ​​you trust so much could also turn your vacation into a nightmare? Let's find out how planning a trip with AI can get you into trouble and how to avoid these situations.

How can AI get you into trouble?
Hallucinations and misinformation - AI models sometimes generate information that doesn't actually exist. This is technically called hallucination. The AI ​​might send you to a restaurant or museum that closed 5 years ago, or suggest a hotel that doesn't actually exist.

Lack of real-time updates - Most AI tools are trained on data up to a certain point in time. They won't be able to tell you if there's been a landslide on the road you're planning to take today, or if there are road closures in the city you're visiting due to a strike or other reasons.

Lack of understanding of logistics - AI might give you a plan to be on a mountaintop at 9 AM and at the seashore by 10 AM. It doesn't understand local traffic, narrow roads, or the actual time it takes to climb a mountain. This plan on paper might be far removed from reality.

Lack of cultural nuances - AI doesn't know if there's a specific dress code for visiting a religious site on a particular day, or if only locals are allowed entry. Lack of such information can put you in an uncomfortable situation.

What to do to avoid these problems?
To make your trip safe and enjoyable, use AI as a guide, not as a boss. Get into the habit of triple-checking – always cross-check any hotels, flights, or places suggested by AI on Google Maps or the official website. Check if the place is still open and what the recent reviews are like.

Use apps and websites – rely on official government apps or websites for accurate transportation and weather information. For example, if you're going to Switzerland, don't just rely on AI; check the local rail app for accurate timings.

Allow for buffer time – always add some extra time to the travel times suggested by AI. If the AI ​​says the journey will take 2 hours, assume it will take 3 hours. This will help you avoid rushing and stress.

Trust human experience – read reviews from people who have recently traveled to the destination on travel apps or social media. This will give you a more accurate idea of ​​how much time you'll need and what your budget should be.
