AIs like ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Manus can make planning a holiday much easier, but users should be aware of the problems that can arise

On a recent trip to Taiwan, I turned to ChatGPT to ask for recommendations for the best beef noodles in my area – with the very specific request that the shop had to accept credit cards, as I was running low on local currency.
The chatbot immediately recommended a place that was a short walk and featured some of the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth beef tendon I have ever had.
I was pleased to be the only foreigner in the no-frills, no-air-conditioning joint that was home to a fat, orange cat taking a nap under one of the metal stools.
