Three weeks ago I'm sitting on the sun deck of a river cruise ship gliding past medieval castles on the Rhine, cold German pilsner in hand, watching my better half absolutely lose her mind over a vineyard-covered hillside.

This got me thinking about AI travel planning and how everyone's jumping on the artificial intelligence bandwagon like it's the next miracle solution. Don't get me wrong – I use AI tools daily for work stuff, and they're brilliant for certain tasks.
