The outlets report that people often find AI tools give mediocre holiday plans when they ask broad, generic questions. Brisbane Times, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald say the issue is typically the prompt, not the technology.

They argue that when users provide limited details, AI systems tend to produce generic suggestions rather than tailored itineraries. The articles describe a need for more specific inputs—such as preferences, constraints, timing, budget and travel style—to guide the output toward what a user actually wants.

Across the coverage, the central message is practical: changing how a person prompts the AI can improve the quality and relevance of recommendations. While the outlets share the same core view, they focus on different angles within the same theme, emphasizing that users should avoid one-size-fits-all questions and instead include clearer requirements to get more useful holiday planning results.
