Toller Reiseführer

Ich liebe diese App auf Reisen. Man kann in kompakter Zeit sehr viel über die Städte lernen. Das einzige was schade ist, dass nicht alle Touren auch auf Deutsch verfügbar sind. Zumindest eine Übersetzungsmöglichkeit mit dem KI Assistenten wäre schön. Vielleicht wird das ja in Zukunft noch verbessert, dann wäre sie auf jeden Fall absolut perfekt.

Cusco Walking Tour AI Slop

Very disappointing walking tour. Seemed like AI slop. Very hard to follow. Not well guided. Information was very basic, and the accent was terrible.

worse the other review apps

the review i took on this app sucked it sounded like they just had an ai bot read over the wikipedia pages for each attraction. gave no context to anything it was talking about. other apps will have local guides actually give these tours from their unique perspective rather then an ai bot

AI slop

The audio would start and stop randomly regardless if I was at the destination or not, making it impossible to learn about the area. The voice is robotic, very clearly AI generated slop.
