In a video posted to TikTok on Aug. 13, Spanish content creator Mery Caldass broke down crying in the airport after missing her flight because she did not have the necessary paperwork prepared to travel for a romantic getaway with her partner. And the reason, she claims, is that she looked to ChatGPT for advice.

    “I asked ChatGPT and he said no,” says Caldass, in Spanish, about whether she would need a visa to make the journey to Puerto Rico.

    (While a visa is not required for European Union citizens to enter Puerto Rico if you are staying for fewer than 90 days, travelers still must complete the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, an online application that determines the eligibility of visitors to enter the United States, per the State Department.)

    “That’s what I get for not getting more information,” the influencer said through tears.

    “I don’t trust that one anymore,” she added, referring to her AI assistant.

    Caldass also added that she sometimes insults ChatGPT — calling the AI derogatory names — and that she thought her travel hiccups were “his revenge.”

    1. I’d offer sympathy but I think that’s what they equate to “woke” now… so… thoughts and prayers ? I dunno 

    2. I wouldn’t even trust ChatGPT to tell me if the sky is blue let alone rely on it for airport/flight info

      And of course she goes to cry on TikTok about it.

    4. When people choose to be stupid and then blaming others for it…..
      Ay ay ay my idiotic fluffy potato (to the girl in the post and not op)

    5. A friend of mine told me that her colleague uses ChatGPT for trauma counseling. I am so confused by how people are getting sucked into AI and using them for everything. AI doesn’t even have reliable information on any topic.

      This is a sign that the end of our civilisation is near, right?

      GUYS… stop relying on ChatGPT for everything! It literally says “ChatGPT can be wrong.” Take that statement to heart for fucks sake. 😭

      For some reason I find the fact that she insulted “him” to be the dumbest and funniest part of this story. If you’re relying on this thing to give you important and accurate advice….why would you insult it? Obviously ChatGPT is not a sentient being, it’s a software designed to respond to whatever you put into it in a way that would make you happy, but it still reveals just how little critical thought this lady gives literally everything in her life.

      isn’t that information like…. literally (probably) on the travel page(s)?

      Or you know, on any reputable travel site.

      or you know, a quick 1.5 second google?

      God damn AI has turned everyone into morons.

    10. Know of a youtuber who planned an entire trips itinerary with gemini and the first taxi driver he spoke to told him that the list makes no sense

    11. When I was in Japan earlier this year a tourist came up to me asking for help because “google maps told them one train platform and ChatGPT told them the opposite” and I had to stare at him and say “why would you not follow the navigation app?” Because it was the correct one, obviously.

      ChatGPT once told me Roland wasn’t a character in Stephen King’s Dark Tower series.

      That’s how I knew to never use it again. Iykyk
