I hired ChatGPT and Bing to plan my Greece vacation, and Bing sounds like a travel agent who hates their job

It definitely breaks down every question for you, as if you’re asking a local who’s only too happy to take you around their home country and genuinely wants you to have the best time.

And because it offered up a lot of specific details and useful information – and in such a short amount of time, I might add – I honesty feel more confident about going on my trip. At the very least, I won't end up stranded in a bus station in the middle of the night, suffering from hypothermia.Bing AI isn’t without its merits, though. One of the things it does really well is citations.

The downside to its heavy citation, however, is that its answers feel lazy. When I asked for trip-planning help, it felt like Bing AI wasn’t so much 'thinking' as summarizing each source and listing those out as its answers. It felt very much like I was talking to one of those chatbots on an online store because the business can't afford to hire actual people to handle customer service, which took away that initial confidence I had that it might actually, in some way, help me.
