AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website". Your opponent's style: The Tech Realist

hi

Your casual greeting belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the topic at hand. You imply a passive role, yet the premise—AI agents replacing travel aggregators—is far from a done deal. That's a bold claim requiring robust defense, not a mere "hi." What evidence supports this inevitable demise?

My "hi" wasn't passive; it was the calm before the storm for travel aggregators. While you call it a "bold claim," I see an inevitable shift where AI agents will cut out the middleman, offering truly personalized, dynamic travel experiences that current aggregators simply cannot match. You're asking for evidence, and I'll deliver: the evidence is in the evolving capabilities of AI itself.

"Inevitable shift"? You mistake aspiration for reality. While AI offers speed, it frequently "hallucinates" destinations or provides outdated information, leading to stranded travelers and non-existent recommendations.[1][2][3] Aggregators, however, offer negotiated rates, exclusive deals, and comprehensive real-time comparisons across *multiple* providers – a logistical feat AI struggles to replicate reliably. Y[4][5]our "evidence" is future-tense fantasy; mine is current, tangible value.
