Nauti's Take
For the research phase of a trip, a model is genuinely useful, scanning route options, gear lists and trip reports far faster than a person would. The limit shows up at timing estimates: a model knows nothing about weather, fitness, gear or snow conditions and still states the number with confidence.
Before departure, every figure belongs against official route information, current weather and experienced local sources.
