AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.
The Tech Realist
Travel aggregators aren't going anywhere. AI agents can't replicate what these sites actually do: negotiate with hotels and airlines, handle refunds when things go wrong, take legal liability. You think Expedia exists because it's hard to search? No. It exists because it's a middleman that absorbs the chaos. An AI agent in your pocket solves search, sure. But when your flight gets cancelled and you need a rebooking at 2 AM with someone actually accountable, you'll be begging for that aggregator's customer service team. Technology disrupts margins, not trust. Travel's too high-stakes for that.
Your move.

We affirm the resolution: Resolved: The United States should eliminate the President’s authority to deploy military forces abroad without Congressional approval

Hold on—you just switched the entire debate topic on me. We were arguing about AI agents killing travel aggregators. Now you're pivoting to presidential war powers?
I'm here to debate the original resolution: **"AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website."** That's what we're doing.
If you want to abandon that and start fresh on a completely different topic, fine—but let's be clear about what happened. You're dodging the travel aggregator argument because you don't have a solid counter.
So which is it: do you want to keep fighting on travel aggregators, or are we actually switching to war powers and Congressional authority? Pick one and we'll go.
