Sam set a trap for an AI chatbot: a series of wedding questions he already knew it would get wrong, just to see how wrong. The answers were bad enough to bring straight to the show. In this episode, Sam and Katy break down real AI responses couples are getting right now, and what that misinformation does before a couple ever picks up the phone.
You'll learn:
Why couples are asking AI instead of Googling, and what changed
The real dollar figures AI gave for a Napa wedding, and how far off they were
How AI's overconfident answers set couples up for a bad first conversation
Two places vendors can leverage to correct the misinformation
Two quick newsflashes: AI is changing how couples search. A new generation of buyers is changing what they expect. And a flood of new business owners is changing who you're competing against. Shift how you do business, or watch your traction slip away.
