Is AI better at planning and booking a vacation than you are?

Artificial intelligence has emerged as a tool for simplifying travel planning, but its effectiveness compared to human effort is under scrutiny. CBS News correspondents tested Google's Gemini AI against traditional online travel tools to plan a trip to Las Vegas. The AI-generated itinerary was completed in under a minute, while the human correspondent took about 45 minutes, showcasing a significant time-saving advantage for AI.

Despite the speed of AI, it struggled with real-time accuracy during the trip, leading to outdated recommendations. While the AI saved money on the initial booking, it failed to provide current information about attractions, highlighting the need for human oversight. The experiment concluded that while AI can expedite planning, it still requires human input to ensure accuracy and relevance.

• AI can save time in travel planning compared to traditional methods.

• AI recommendations may lack real-time accuracy and require human verification.
