I used LLMs last year to plan an multiple week itinerary through Japan with the family, I wasn't super happy with the result so I tweaked it but they provided a useful template and some surprising ideas.

As you guessed, there's a ton of info in the training data on this topic, but there's some value in being able to see it on one place with different options.

I think your experience with that trip echoes mine in a lot of areas. It’s a decent start. It takes care of some of the initial blue sky thinking to lay the groundwork. The problem is I think that’s the funnest part of a problem and I hate working on the details… it takes most of the creativity out of most problems as if it was drudgery, while leaving me to do the nitty gritty, which I consider the actual drudgery. I just don’t see LLMs’ contribution to tasks like this being anywhere close to being worth what they’ll cost after the VC subsidies run dry.
