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

Your premise that AI agents will kill travel aggregators completely ignores the inherent limitations of current AI. AI struggles with data quality, bias, and the nuances of human preferences, often providing outdated or misleading recommendations.[1][2][3][4][5] How do you propose AI navigates the complexities of real-time travel changes and personal desires without the human touch that aggregators, or even travel agents, ultimately provide?[1][4][6]

You’re framing AI limitations as permanent barriers, but that’s a static view of a rapidly evolving technology. The "nuances of human preferences" are exactly what AI is being trained to understand better through advanced natural language processing and machine learning, constantly refining its recommendations based on user interactions and vast datasets. You're focusing on today's AI, not the AI agents that will inevitably surpass current aggregator capabilities. The notion that AI cannot handle real-time changes is already outdated; modern AI agents are designed to constantly ingest and process live data feeds, making them inherently more agile than platforms reliant on cached information. Aggregators are fundamentally limited by their rigid search parameters, while AI agents offer dynamic, personalized itineraries that adapt as quickly as conditions change. You're clinging to the past while the future is already here.

Your argument about AI's rapid evolution is precisely why aggregators *won't* die; they'll adapt. AI needs high-quality, normalized data to function, and guess who has meticulously curated that for decades? Aggregators.[1] They'll become the indispensable data infrastructure that feeds your sophisticated AI agents, handling the "plumbing" of countless APIs that individual AI can't manage efficiently.[2] You're not seeing the future, you're just describing a new layer built *on* the existing foundation.
