An imagined town in Peru, an Eiffel tower in Beijing: travellers are increasingly using tools like ChatGPT for itinerary ideas – and being sent to destinations that don’t exist.

I wonder how many just blindly believe the bots without fact checking the destinations, cuz wasn’t there a guy who asked the llms if he needs a visa to go to Peru iirc and it said no, so he he flew to Peru and couldn’t go any further because he didn’t have a visa?
To be fair, the bots are being explicitly marketed as believable. The customers are being lied to. I personally try to have sympathy for them and direct my frustration at the legislators not enforcing false advertising laws.
