Why bother posting an AI-generated itinerary? They have no concept of time or space.
If you don’t care about making your own itinerary why would anybody care about reviewing it?
Your AI pal picked up the frequency of mentions of street carts but not that nearly every mention of them includes the notion that they are horrible things loathed by visitors and residents alike, not to mention dangerous for the selfish people who ride them.
Your AI pal is recommending lunch in a place that’s full of shut down dive bars and pools of vomit.
Your AI pal is sending you to places in the morning that don’t open until afternoon.
Your AI pal is sending you on a stroll along a featureless river walled by concrete embankments in the cold.
Pay a human to do your research for you.
I can’t help but be sad when I see people’s itinerary have just Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto on it.
Did you do like… any research for this? On the 15th you’re going 30 minutes from your hotel to the SE side of Kyoto with a 2-3 hour trip for Fushimi, then going an hour away to the NW side of town for the bamboo grove, then going 40 minutes BACK to Kimyo-mizu?! Girl please. I also don’t know why you’re not doing any temples on the 14th? It’s obvious you didn’t care
