A month ago when I asked Claude (on the website) about its privacy options and stuff, it always pointed me to the Antrhopic website to look it up myself.

Another annoying example: I thought Google's Gemini would be search-first since, well, they're Google.

I asked Gemini to search for Airbnb rooms in an area and give me a summarized list.

It told me it can't and I could do it myself.

I told it again.

Again it told me it can't, but here's how I could do it myself.

I told it it sucks and that ChatGPT etc. can do it for me.

Then it went and I don't know, scrapped Airbnb or used a previous search it must have had, to pull up rooms with an Airbnb link to each.

This could actually be THE absolute killer app for a lot of people, if AI could plan your trip from a single sentence: "I'm free next week. I'd like to go to A, B, or C for a couple days. What's a cheap flight and a room within this budget near X area?" and if it could also go and make a booking through your accounts it would be orgasmic. Finally we would have what people in the 1960s thought computers would be doing in 2000 :')

But as it is, in their current state you have to wade through quite a bit of dumbassery.
