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Despite the speed of AI, it struggled with real-time accuracy during the trip, leading to outdated recommendations.

The experiment concluded that while AI can expedite planning, it still requires human input to ensure accuracy and relevance.
