We're heading off to New Zealand and Australia in a few days, which triggered an online quest to find quirky but comfortable, cool yet peaceful, nice but affordable hotels in multiple cities. This sort of project was once a delight. The web used to be packed (and perhaps still is?) with countless voice-y, independent travel blogs and one-off posts about this or that city. A chorus that sounded off personally and credibly about what to do, where to stay, and what to eat in every corner of the world. Finding the voices that most spoke to me was part of the fun, and a sure route to recommendations that would truly resonate with us.
Just had a chat with CHATGPT... I needed to get started on a retirement trip in Europe, so I took on the challenge of getting info from the BOT. I did request VERIFIED links, and sure as heck it provided me with a group of commercial links, which were all good... I then asked for non-commercial links (verified of course) and got another group of very good links I then told the BOT about it generating broken links, and it asked me for them. Sent it the broken links, and also your original query.... the BOT of course apologized profusely for it's transgressions and noted in passing that the links it had sent you did not seem proper for the query. Seems like precision is the key to pulling good search info out of the BOT. I had very good responses when I queried it on Ohio State Law, with it quoting various section of the state code, and in one case just sending me a link and telling me to read the entire section. Lawyers look out!!! Thanks for the good articles on this new tech front. Keep them coming!!

Reminds me of when I asked ChatGPT to cite its sources and it confidently gave APA references I was so excited...until I tried to find them! 9/10 were hallucinations.
A couple of suggestions for Airbnb in New Zealand that stood out for me over the past five years:
- Mt. Lyford (near Christchurch): https://www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/33078302
- Halfway between Rotorua and Taupo: https://www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/31321788
On the other hand I live in Auckland so DM me if you want hotel advice from a human with no accommodation conflicts of interest 😎
Have you tried this query with new Bing GPT? It's responses are grounded with search results and real websites.
