While AI tools are proving useful for general travel planning, their performance in comparison shopping is currently "terrible," leading to "tons of misses." Furthermore, users are hesitant to provide credit card information due to a lack of trust in the AI's reliability for financial transactions. There is a need to significantly improve AI capabilities for precise price comparison across various travel options and to establish greater trustworthiness for handling sensitive payment data.
@michaelmiraflor Ive tried using AI for 6 trips now. Great as a planning tool. Terrible comparison shopper. Tried travel site AI, Perplexity, my own CLaude COde tools, and OpenAI. It's useful, but absolutely wouldn't feed it my CC without checking. Tons of misses.
