I find the first two responses "Perfect!..." and "Based on..." intensely annoying. They add nothing to the discussion and act as noise. This article crystalises a problem with AI: words are cheap to generate and expensive to read (just like spam). The AI should just do as it's asked and succinctly generate the poll. If asked "Why did you make these suggestions", it should explain why it chose those restaurants.
Edit: I'd also add that done "right" the AI should be clearly labelled as such. Its chat handle should include something like "AI", so the other chat users know exactly what they are dealing with, without having to know what "TripJam" or "TJ" is.
I'm with you, which is why I started the post by stating that most group chats don't need LLM assistants. But I do wonder if your friends have ever posted an AI generated image in the gc, or text you suspect was generated by LLMs? I would be very surprised if not.
yeh I type in Paris, now I get a paragraph to read with random suggestions with no context to verify if these are good for me or not. If User has to figure out and make choices and tell AI to plan the trip then what is the point. It is easy for me to see nice UI with reviews, image grid and make choice based on this type of data. Why is the purpose of back and forth discussion with AI ?

Most people I know are turned off by generative AI.
I have a sports betting group chat "Degen Bets" that I made a funny image for the thumbnail based on our fantasy football teams.
In a temporary thread about something yeah.
