A controlled test of ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude shows prompt quality, not model capability, is the binding constraint in AI travel planning. Paid tiers ran deeper and faster with better stamina, while outputs skewed bland and vulnerable to generative engine optimisation. The finding reframes 'AI can't do X' complaints as prompt-engineering and product-design problems.
