FAQ: Can really AI help me travel?
Answer: AI is a great tool kit for travel. Yes, but be sure to check for accuracy and hallucinations. You will also find bias. But you can start using your phone today to ask about some of the questions you have at this moment. “Do I need to bring an umbrella to England?” That’s a question you already are asking your Alexa, Siri, or other smart device. I just asked that. The answer was that it’s not raining right now in the UK. That did not answer my question, but it helped. So don’t limit yourself and keep asking questions. Be sure to ask here for a reputable answer to some more challenging questions you want to know will be useful and relatable.
Today’s destination: Cabrillo National Monument Experience
Cabrillo National Monument is a beautiful spot in San Diego, offering incredible views and a mix of historical and natural experiences. Part 1 focuses on the experiences and Part 2 focus is the accessibility.
I’ve made this experience part of my life in San Diego, since first visiting as a tourist in 1977. It’s one of my all-time favorite places in the world. I hope you get to experience this amazing treasure. It’s such a treasure that I held my birthday party here one year and my friends all had a great time, too.
