so instead of telling a website when and where you want to go you tell an “agent”? and then instead of comparing airlines/flights/prices on the website you compare them based on a list made by the “agent”? idgi.
and this “use case” is typically >25% of the examples ai evangelists give for how this technology is supposed to transform your life.
they know patterns in terms of dynamic pricing by airlines? and can do on-the-fly gradient descent for u to get best price? bsaically looking at prices

Dumb NOT to use a TA for some bookings. If it’s a virtuoso or similar property I screenshot the room and rate, send it to my TA and he books same but I get upgrade, breakfast included and a ~$100 hotel credit. Hotel pays the TA not you, so you get extra benefits for nothing. Also then whenever there’s an issue it’s the TA’s to deal with not yours.

They can’t fuck it up if you tell them what hotel, date, room class and price then verify the booking is correct when they send the conf. You just get a bunch of benefits in return for 5 min of checking a website and reading an email.

u really have to wonder wtf google etc dont just make it easy to have an "agent" do all this shit, its always just chamath or some faggot saying he has 300 agents doing everything while he masturbates to gay porn
i guess if you know about the trip far enough in advance you can have it monitor the prices and buy a flight you want at what it determines will be a low. in practice, every time i travel i procrastinate figuring out my exact plans until the last sec and then all the flights are shitty for one reason or another and i have to look at them all and weigh the pros and cons and choose which one sucks the least, something i wouldn't trust AI to do.

a lot of 'VCs' are new money aspirational retards who spend approximately every waking minute thinking of new vapid ways to signal wealth and status, and this trickles out to all of us because Indians dominate the x.com and linkedin algorithms

flying on Planes is the shared reality of all Consoomers and Businessmen. RSF and cslg both did, or were going to do, Startups having to do with Flying. azns are also into Flying, and are constantly, CONSTANTLY talking about Airports, and how U.S. Airports are Bad.

It’s retarded. And it seems in line with the ultimate goal of tech which is to have people do nothing for themselves in any way, shape, or form so they can “get back to doing what you love.” i.e.) scrolling social media and gambling on sports while an AI “agent” orders you “food” on DoorDash.

for work travel, i use a travel agency. my secretary is borderline retarded and fucks everything up, and my travel changes constantly so i just have the agent on speed dial. i talk to her at least 1-2 times per week, sometimes much more frequently.
