I have ChatGPT Pro and it sources every single thing. For my Asia trip right now it's been helping me every single day to figure out optimized routes on what to do and where to go (if I feel like it, not to say I don't wander around too).

me too, but I recently blew the transformer on my boiler by following its directions to wire up a C wire to power a smart thermostat. oops. $500 mistake.

How often do you check the citations? I’ve found with the Google search AI summary it will provide answers and link to their citations, but a good chunk of the time the answer isn’t on the linked page.

It just makes stuff up (or gets it from somewhere, who knows) and then links to a tangentially related page as if it was the source. Either that or it identifies the page as being a source it wants to use, and then summarizes it incorrectly. Not sure the order of operations it’s doing internally, but regardless the citations are bullshit.

The citations provided by the free version of Gemini are comically bad. They almost never contain information which directly supports the relevant claim, and more often than not they're completely irrelevant.

Google's models are worse that OpenAI's, doubly so on Google's free AI overview versus ChatGPT paid plans. 6.1 Sol is very good at synthesizing actual information it finds without hallucinating and I've not seen any instances it failed while I checked the sources.

That sounds terrible. I like to live like a human being

What that does that even mean? Even if I grant your premise (I don't), if one is traveling and engaging these places in person....what's the problem?

Where did I say it was a problem? Using chatgpt to plan an itinerary sounds terrible TO ME

Indeed, planning an itinerary, making calculations, building excitement for a place, is part of the journey

I suspect the HN techno-brained crowd will not appreciate it, many are quick to throw away their human experience

> Indeed, planning an itinerary, making calculations, building excitement for a place, is part of the journey

Not sure how they're perceiving using ChatGPT to plan an itinerary but I'm also doing all this while using ChatGPT. As I said in the sibling comment, it's a faster Google search and route optimizer, not something where I type in "make me an itinerary for X city" and follow whatever it shits out.

Why? In the past I would've used Google so it's just a faster search engine for me that works with natural language, what do you use for planning then?
