AI Blamed: Couple Misses Puerto Rico Flight After ChatGPT Allegedly Gives Wrong Visa Info

A Spanish couple's dream vacation to Puerto Rico turned into a tearful ordeal at the airport after they reportedly missed their flight due to incorrect visa information provided by an artificial intelligence chatbot. Mery Caldass, visibly distressed, shared her experience in a viral video, explaining that she had consulted ChatGPT regarding the visa requirements for Puerto Rico and was allegedly told no visa was necessary. "We lost the flight to Puerto Rico," Caldass stated in the video, her voice filled with emotion. "We needed a visa and we didn't know." She expressed profound frustration, lamenting that she usually researches thoroughly but relied on the AI's response this time. "I asked ChatGPT and it told me no. I won't trust that piece of [expletive] again," she added, highlighting her anger at the chatbot's perceived failure. The incident serves as a stark reminder for travelers to cross-reference information from official sources, especially when dealing with critical travel documentation. While AI tools like ChatGPT can be helpful for general inquiries, their accuracy for real-world, time-sensitive information, particularly legal or travel requirements, remains a significant concern.
