This is a very interesing topic. Thanks
@Dimitri_Raptis for bringing it up.
There are really many ways to use AI in the overlanding sector. I have looked into this more intensively. Possible applications range from vehicle conversions, driver assistance systems, instructions for DIY projects, translators to travel preparation and much more. I have tested some AIs for travel preparation. My conclusions in a nutshell:
The key is to learn how to ask the AI questions to get the desired results. And even then it is not certain whether the result is correct, because the AI can ultimately only bring to light what it finds. This is exactly the same as with blog posts, videos, etc., because even there we often find information that is simply incorrect or out of date.
In this topic of using AI or not is where tradition and modernity meet. It's like the age-old discussion around the campfire about whether an old vehicle is better than a newer one for overladning. One person is more tech-orientated, while the other prefers the classic way. And when planning a trip, tips and experiences from overlanding friends are often more helpful than what we find on the internet or in travel guides - and therefore ultimately also from the AI. In addition, our own research and conversations often provide us with valuable additional information that we may not have thought of before - and that the AI would therefore not ask for. And what is a better way to prepare for a trip than to exchange plans around the campfire or browse through exciting travel reports?
