One smart tip, then closed restaurants: Meta Muse plans a weekend
Muse got the light rail tip right, faster and cheaper than Uber. Then it picked restaurants that had closed, got a shop's hours wrong, and panicked that their flight left today. It didn't.

What they did
As an experiment, they let Meta Muse make all the major decisions on a weekend trip to Seattle, asking it for transit options, restaurant picks, sightseeing suggestions and help tracking their flight.
How it went
Muse correctly found that the light rail into the University district was faster and cheaper than Uber, but it also recommended restaurants that were out of business, got a cheese shop’s opening wrong, and sent a panicked message that their flight was leaving that day before being reminded it was a daily flight booked for the next day.
