I used ChatGPT for an itinerary for one week in Northwest Slovenia with the focus on motorbike riding. It was perfect way to start my planning, which I continued to tweak along the way. By the way, the area around Kobarid and Kranjska Gora is stunning. We went over mountain passes that made us think we were in the Dolomites and saw the most crystal blue rivers. It's a highly recommended area.

OP T24 (sounds like a Bowie song title, yeah?),
I haven't tried ChatGPT, but my bro is quite keen on it.
We research using *guidebooks, forums like this plus neighbors/friends who have 'been there'.
And lately, I've been urging fellow travelers not to overlook Reddit. The latter can put you in direct touch with locals and their knowledge.
I am done. the lucky traveler and their local *reference library

Yeah, I’ve played around with it it’s pretty cool. You can toss in your dates and vibe, and it’ll spit out a rough plan with spots to check out, food recs, even little travel hacks. Not perfect, but honestly it saves a ton of scrolling and gives you a solid starting point.

We have seen some crazy (really crazy) itineraries/suggestions posted on these forums that are obviously AI. They are mostly cleared out by the site administrators but some make it through. It IS helpful for a lot of research topics - so far many travel suggestions I’ve seen have been pretty bad.

ChatGpt- Not still, but obvious, it will guide you with places, distance, time and budget idea. But what is exact feel and charm is not possible.
It may also suggest some wrong info as it has in source. For a road trip, I still believe Google Maps are more useful.

Well people are using AI whether they think it's ready or not. The airlines are using it as well as other parts of the travel industry and travelers are already heavily using it.

Younger travelers are driving the AI revolution in travel. According to recent consumer surveys, Generation Z and millennial travelers are more than twice as likely as older generations to use AI tools when planning trips.
Based on data from Statista, about 40% of consumers used AI for trip planning in 2024; adoption is highest among Gen Zers (53%) and millennials (57%).
For these digital-native travelers, tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini and travel-specific AI assistants feel as natural as search engines once did. They're using AI to compare destinations, discover under-the-radar restaurants, calculate carbon emissions and planitineraries tailored to their budgets, preferences and priorities.
But it's not just the under-40 crowd. Interestingly, Guide's internal data shows that 70% to 80% of its users are Generation Xers and baby boomers. This older demographic, often composed of recently retired travelers with disposable income, values time savings and simplicity over complex tech features, suggesting that intuitive AI interfaces can successfully bridge generational gaps in travel planning.

For example:
If I know a destination very good and I read something totall wrong on any forum, I write again it, because I know what is right or wrong.
And so everyone can douple-check any information in the web and if unsure can ask the people living there.

But what was incorrect and who decides what is right and what is wrong?
My example was looking up the time for sunset in a certain place at a certain month. And the AI answer was incorrect. It had not taken daylight saving into consideration. When I went to a real weather/timme/date website it showed the correct information.
That isn't about "decides what is right and wrong"... it was simply incorrect information. Sunset is at 6pm or sunset is at 7pm, well one of those answers is right and one is wrong. It's not a matter of opinion -lol.

I used GPT to do a lot of plans, but they didn't 100% meet my needs. It can really give me some general framework, suggestions and comparison. Details still me to add or adjust — it is not smart enough for personalized customization.
That's why I still do my travel plans from researching rather than using gpt.
