For example, the AI summary for the Riu Palace Santa Maria in Cape Verde described it as clean and popular, despite 102 mentions of food poisoning in reviews and a pending class-action lawsuit from 412 travelers who fell ill after staying there. The watchdog also tested Tripadvisor\u0026#39;s travel planning bot Ollie, which told a user the risk of food poisoning at the same hotel was quite low. Tripadvisor said the summaries are designed to be transparent and fair, and that users should not blindly trust AI-generated content.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Tripadvisor's AI summaries called a hotel clean and friendly despite dozens of user reports of food poisoning and sexual harassment.
