David Harris, 46, used AI to help plan the itinerary for his family’s first holiday in New York, but was more trusting about its recommendations.
Unlike Alan, David knew where he wanted to go – and exactly how he was going to get there, unlike Hannah.
But he wasn’t sure how much he could fit into a trip of just four-and-a-half days, so he turned to an AI-powered tool for help.
David asked it to suggest attractions to see and activities to do in the time they had – and asked for them to be grouped together by location so that he and his young family could walk between each.
“With four of us going we kind of wanted to see everything,” David says, “from Taylor Swift’s house to the Ghostbusters museum.”
Having used ChatGPT extensively for work and knowing attractions in New York tend to stay open quite late, he didn’t feel the need to check the opening times and walking directions suggested by the AI chatbot.
“It took a couple of prompts to refine the itinerary – as it gave me a lot of information I didn’t need to begin with – but it ended up producing a really good list of things to do.”
David admits it hadn’t even occurred to him to ask it to suggest possible flights with cheaper prices, but says he will try that for a holiday he is planning to the Mediterranean next year.
