AI GETS IT'S REVENGE!! Artificial intelligence teaches me a lesson in Hamburg because I slagged it. 

Oh Scott, DB might not be watching, but I am. Want me to post or drop off one or more of the yellow departure boards?

In terms of your video I think AI stands for Awfy Interesting. But give me a Scott Manson itinerary over AI any day! Brilliant stuff mate!

Brilliant video as always Scott up until 17:13 but then black screen and no audio until 21:03

One more AI bad idea - placing your camera in an unlit, soundproof closet for four minutes... Epic how you were able to cue the duck at 28:46 to quack at exactly the correct time.

I was in Hamburg in January. Fun factoid, the Elbe tunnel was based on the Clyde tunnel in Glasgow.

Around 17.05 there's no video/sound just darkness for around 4 mins. Enjoyed the video but might have given AI a half for the zoo idea.

at 28:46 fantastic timing by the ducks

The sleeper train you were so keen to see is the newly introduced SJ (Swedish Railways) service from Hamburg Altona to Stockholm introduced just before Christmas last year. Interestingly, it initially only ran with couchette cars as the sleeper cars had not yet ben approved to run in (I stand to be corrected on which country it was) Denmark and Sweden. The NightJet service runs from Hamburg to Wien and Innsbruck and utilises the new stock from Siemens (all sleeper compartments now have en-suite showers and toilets). Regarding MiWuLa (Miniatur Wunderland, there is something wrong with your AI saying it takes 3 hours, more like 3 days to see it (it's spread over two building on opposite sides of the canal (there is a bridge linking them) and four floors)!

I`m surprised the old fish market in Hamburg was not recommended by AI... GREAT video and good to see Hamburg again

I thought we Dutchies were cheap, but the Scott's are not to be messed with 😂

AI challenge against Mr Marsh in Amsterdam? Who can visit the most number of recommended places in 12 hours at the cheapest cost.

You are really inspiring by all those travelvlogs! keep up the good work greets from holland

Hi Scott, great video as always. If your AI search was based on Chat GPT, it has limited knowledge of anything that was published on the internet after 2021. Keep up the good work.

My son and i spend a weekend in Hamburg about 18 years ago mainly to visit the Miniature Wonderland. We were in there for roughly 6 hours and even then didn't see it all.. They have since expanded quite a bit and I don't think 3 hours is sufficient if you really want to see as much as possible. There is another, bigger and older football club in Hamburg namely the Hamburger Sport Verein or HSV for short. Unfortunately, they play in the 2.Bundesliga at the moment as well.

Love your sense of humour. Great videos.keep them coming!

Either my browser has a malfunction or some parts of the video are without video/sound, otherwise an very nice video😊

There used to be posters with every departure on it in Glasgow Central a few years ago. It was in a turning flipchart style.

Managed to see the end of the program today. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one 👍

The Swedish train is not that bad, maybe old, my friend said, but rides very well and you can get single rooms to sleep in

Fantastic video! 👏

You can easily cut out the 4 minutes of blank with the RU-vid editor if you want to 🙃

Enjoyed your trip to Hamburg once again your sense of humour made me laugh 😂

Interesting video Scott, except for when the AI took over halfway through.

We were on hamburg in September ... a couple more free suggestions .. go take a look where the beatles took residency for gigs before they were famous . Just off the rieperbahn . Go spend some time around the alster lake . Beatiful and the locals go thrre to chill out at the weekends . A few little bars on the lake side . Great city

Zoos, the cinema, museums, galleries - all places that are significantly better when visited alone. We need to change the societal norms! 😊

26 mins Volvo P1800 like the Saint drove. There is one in Glasgow transport museum.

Another must-see in Hamburg is the posh Jungfernstieg and the Alster.

Intresting Video, caught my eye as I'm heading to Hamburg with my Son in May, funnly enough staying at the same hotel and visiting Minature Wonderland. Thanks for the video :)

Just back from Hamburg last month. The viewing plaza is always free to visit. The 3 Euro is only if you want to book a time slot. There is a small coffee bar and shop as well as the posher places.

I love it that all the travel bloggers (incl me) film pushing the elevator button!! Don't we all love elevator buttons??? LOL!!! ;-) nice video

In general I agree with your assessment of the AI suggestions. The exception is the zoo. I think that's a fine suggestion. Many people go to zoos alone, and they tend to be enjoyable year round. Perhaps it doesn't match your specific personality, but without countless questions, it would be hard to tailor the suggestions quite so well. Recommending a breakfast at a restaurant that doesn't open until later in the day or recommending attractions that are closed, though, is ridiculous.

One of my favourite things about travel is planning the trip, doing the research and learning more about our destination. I don't think I'll be going the AI route any time soon.

The crypt was creepy in the church. Weather makes me want to go back to the hotel, watch tv, and go to bed early.

I rarely go to zoos with anyone else, they make me move too fast and I can't enjoy checking out the critters as much. To each their own! Interesting video overall, and a good indication that AI needs to be roundly ignored.

Great video. Makes me want to go back again. I'm surprised the International Maritime Museum wasn't mentioned although I was in for over 5 hours and still didn't see everything.

I was last in Hamburg in 1959 and was acosted by a streetwalker. When her offer of business was declined she responded with "Filthy British"

Another fantastic video Scott. Thank you as always.

Great video Scott really enjoyed it

Hi Scott ✌🏻🤗! I’m quite surprised, AI didn’t suggest to have a nice stroll through the „Portuguese Quarter“ almost opposite the Landungsbrücken, where the old 3-Master „Rickmer Rickmers“ is anchored and the Quarters are just across from the old Tower! Great scenery and some good Restaurants where you can enjoy hearty nosebags! Perhaps you want to give that scene a try, next time you’re in Hamburg 😘! By the way, ever been in Bremen? I‘m sure they have an abundance of places to go, but there’s something special to Bremen, we, as a School class visited some 51 years ago! Could be a little bit morbid, macabre and scary, but the „Bleikeller“ (translates into Lead-Cellar“), a Crypt with a number of old corpses that, due to having been exposed to the toxic environment for decades if not centuries, are on display in open coffins sealed with glass panes! Those corpses really look like made from parchment! „Lead mummies 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️“ 😘!

Almost 25 minutes until you got up to cruising altitude Scott. I was getting worried! ☕️

Great Video Scott

This was a great vlog. You have such a nice way of presenting all the challenges you faced in Hamburg. Your humorous approach is so refreshing. Take care, safe travels. Cheers

Another excellent video! Was the blank bit in the middle AI exacting revenge for a bad review?

Absolute quality scott, I’ve avoided such stuff in my travels as I’m definitely an AI sceptic and this confirms it. I’ll definitely revert to just following my nose like I’ve done for years 😂😂😂

I need to get some St Mirren stickers - loved that 😂🎉

Scott, great video idea. I hope you are going to try AI again in some other city! Enjoyed this challenge.

Nice watch, Scott! No other would do for a train buff, I guess. 😁

Our phrase was GIGO - garbage in, garbage out. Shame about the mid-film blackout. Looking forward to the next video.

A curate's egg of a video. What AI package did you use? Well done on the timely duck!

Great idea for a video I think you should have tried the art gallery and zoo...get you out of your comfort zone

Come on Scott! We're all dying to know what we missed half wsy through the video😂😂

Thank you--useful stuff!

Would love to see a Hamburg to Stockholm by train video, when you get the chance!

Sehr interesting Scott!

As ever - great vlog, Scott. Thank you. Just back from 4-nights in Hamburg. Used Google Maps to good - and reliable - effect. Stayed at one of 6 Premier Inns in Hamburg - sorry to say this, but vastly better than your room looked & at similar price. In any case, I don't use Accor hotels because they still trade in Russia!

I loved Hamburg. I was there on a business trip as an interpreter for my boss. Great big lake in the city centre populated by roaming gangs of 50+ in line skaters.

Really interesting video Scott. I was wondering what your were going to do around AI. I remember you mentioning it a while ago. I made a vid a few months ago where I asked ChatGPT to plan my day out. It was a weird experience all round.

Good vid mate

Great video

Brilliant as always you really need some st mirren stickers to start plastering about

I spent many nights in the Ibis Budget in Salford Quays, Manchester, the only difference for my eyes was the ladder for the Bunk. regarding the extractor fan, you had the shower light on and I imagine the fan was working overtime because the light was on and no steam traveling through it

For me, planning is one of the most enjoyable parts of travelling. So not a chance I would let AI or someone else do that for me.

The Mary Celeste of Parks there my friend x

My all time favourite City.Been travelling there since 1997 and long may it continue.

Beautiful Hamburg ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having an ad break, you can’t go to Hamburg without a beatle reference, still 10 minutes to go fingers crossed

Interesting... Hamburg is on my bucket list with the 2 nain attractions being Miniatur Wunderland and the Airbus factory tour, which AI appears to have overlooked although prebooking is essential. The city centre looks interesting and rich in architecture

Nice swiss watch - very appropriate

Love Hamburg but the last time I was there was in the late 1980's when you could do a mini cruise from Harwich

I'll be in Hamburg next Sunday as I'll be on a cruise, but, i dont think i will be leaving the ship as Hamburg seems to be closed on a Sunday.

There's a giant WWII concrete bunker right next to St Pauli, which is far more interesting. I know of one fan of brualist architecture who would appreciate it. Buildings don't get any more brutal.

Interesting video and great sound as usual (apart from the black hole of Calcutta at the 17 minute mark). Please can you tell me what AI you used to generate this itinerary? I have been using AIs for some time now and am impressed with the quality of the results. However the current fail rate is something of a dirty little secret, swept under the carpet of reality, with gratuitous statements when challenged like.. "You are correct, I am an AI model and I am still learning." No AI; actually you are wrong.

I like your room at Ibis budget hotel in Hamburg. Neat room. Enough space for one or two people.

You do have issues with Technology Scott. Blank screen at 17:13

Wine IS breakfast! Can't see why that got a thumbs down...

PTE, can you cut the black screen from the RU-vid video editor without having to upload it again? Love your videos by the way.

I do need to add Hamburg to my itinerary list of places to visit. I have done a few cities in last year and more planned this year so maybe next year.

Hamburg heavy in beautiful brickwork! Looks like everyone has a blank couple of minutes around 18 mins in. Still enjoyed it though!

##Scott problem with video; mine was at 17.02 for 4 minutes. Black screen. Aside from that..I’m really enjoying it as ever 👍

I watched patiently through the black hole starting 17:07. It's about three minutes and a half. 🖤

It's nothing to do with money. AI isn't intelligent. It's a massive data aggregator. So the history museum will have appeared millions of times on the internet, but only a few (comparatively) will have noticed the closure to 2027 so that would have been overwhelmed. So it still gets recommended.

A very interesting vlog

Ah Hamburg, excellent city. The Elbephilharmonie plaza has been free both times that I've visited, I think you just pay to book a slot online, not that it's needed in my experience Had a very nice bit of cream cake in the plaza cafe. The church looks beautiful, must visit if I get back there. Saw it this time last year on a cruise visit from the transfer coach and thought I saw someone climbing the very exposed spiral staircase - is it not possible to get all the way up as a visitor?

Did A.I. edit your video Scott as there is a blank screen between 17:13 & 21:03 😂

Hamburg is the largest German city without trams, kills the ambience

I went to Berlin zoo on my own Scott. I had a great time!

Hi Scott, you need to edit out the 3 minutes of darkness and reload it. Other than that was great as usual

Very interesting video a shame that it was just a black screen for several minutes.

No surprised you couldn't find that first restaurant. Soul less looking building on Street View with a small sign in the window

Tallyho! Scott. Germany is a great place to visit.

We are staying at Ibis Budget in Mainz September time. Is the brand any good? Oh and the German Hamburg links to fellow Scottish Football team Dunfermline Athletic ‘The Pars’ 🤷‍♂️😳

Excellent once again, Scott! The so-called AI managed to mess up part of your video with the black screen, which only demonstrates how rubbish AI actually is. Your intelligence (and wry humour) knock it into a cocked hat. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, and now looking forward to seeing what Lufthansa have to offer...

can you please show what AI you used and how?

That is similar to ibis budget birmingham airport right across the road to the airport

Even though the Museum is closed, the grounds still looked nice on a gloomy day. I just went to my home zoo on my own a few weeks ago. Video coming next Sunday. Maybe a tad harsh there

They have a drinks room coffee teas for free in the ibis budget birmingham airport

Lol, opening scene looked like Urban dystopia personified. Without watching it yet, I'm gonna say the rest of the trip was populated with agreeable individuals. Press play. Bet I'm right!🙂

Sure! Here's a suggested itinerary for a day out in Paisley, Scotland: Morning: 1. Breakfast at Blend Coffee Lounge: Start your day with a delicious breakfast at Blend Coffee Lounge. They offer a variety of breakfast options including pastries, sandwiches, and full Scottish breakfast. 2. Visit Paisley Abbey: After breakfast, take a short walk to Paisley Abbey. This historic abbey dates back to the 12th century and features stunning architecture and intricate stone carvings. Guided tours are available, or you can explore the abbey at your own pace. Mid-Morning: 3. Explore Paisley Museum and Art Gallery: Next, head to Paisley Museum and Art Gallery. This museum showcases the history and culture of Paisley, including its famous textile industry. Explore exhibits on local history, art, and science. Lunch: 4. Lunch at Cardosi's Restaurant: For lunch, dine at Cardosi's Restaurant. This family-run Italian restaurant offers a variety of pasta dishes, pizzas, and other Italian specialties in a cozy atmosphere. Afternoon: 5. Walk in Barshaw Park: After lunch, take a leisurely stroll in Barshaw Park. This beautiful park features walking paths, gardens, and a pond. It's a great place to relax and enjoy nature. 6. Shopping on High Street: Explore the shops along High Street. You'll find a variety of stores selling clothing, gifts, and souvenirs. Evening: 7. Dinner at The Last Post: For dinner, head to The Last Post. This gastropub offers a menu of classic British dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Pair your meal with a pint of beer or a glass of wine. 8. Live Music at The Bungalow: End your day with some live music at The Bungalow. This popular music venue hosts a variety of bands and musicians performing everything from rock and pop to folk and jazz. Additional Tips: Don't forget to check the opening hours of attractions and make any necessary reservations in advance. Wear comfortable shoes for walking around town and in the park. Bring along a camera to capture the beautiful architecture and scenery. Consider purchasing souvenirs such as tartan scarves or locally made crafts to remember your day in Paisley. Any better?

AI must be getting its revenge - hence why the video is blank from minutes 17 to 21.

I too would prefer to visit the millerntor rather than an art museum!
