trip to Norway, a place I'd never been. So I did none of my usual obsessive online research and instead asked three AI planners to create a four-day itinerary. None of them, alas, mentioned the saunas or the salmon. Two assistants were, however, eager to learn more about me in order to tailor their initially generic recommendations, which they had spewed out within seconds. Vacay, a personalized travel planning tool, presented me with a list of questions, while Mindtrip, a new AI travel assistant, invited me to take a quiz.

I will let that sink in. Pandas can't be seen in the wild anymore. The closest they get is a breeding reserve in Chengdu. Considering the gastronomic delights the city has to offer, in which Sichuan pepper gives dishes their distinct flavour, it is a shame to see pandas limit themselves to bamboo.
