The Tech Realist
Travel aggregators aren't going anywhere—they're the immune system that keeps AI agents honest. Here's why: these sites have massive data moats. Booking.com has real-time inventory from 1.7 million properties. No AI agent replicates that overnight without legal warfare and licensing deals that are years away. Plus, aggregators DO the hard work—they negotiate commissions, handle refunds, manage customer service disasters. An AI agent just talks pretty. It still needs someone to actually book your flight, process your payment, and fix it when everything breaks. Aggregators evolved from yellow pages to smartphones. They'll evolve again. They're not dying to AI, they're adapting into it. What's your actual argument here?
