A brief follow up. I'm close to departure on a trip to Madagascar. I created a page for planning that I might eventually change into a trip report with photos: https://www.mvermeulen.org/madagascar

On page 10 of that planning document I've embedded three PDF reports I asked Gemini deep learning to create for the trip. The first was an overview, the second a climate description and the third was for accomodations. Now the test will be riding the trip for real and checking how much the planning helped.

However it has already affected my planning in one regard. The route itself is fairly simple - mostly following one national highway for ~950km. What the AI documents did was give me good candidates on how to split the distance including where the larger gaps between towns are found. That let me focus more detailed searches in those gaps.
