I have zero comments about the usefulness of AI travel agents. Indeed I tend to agree.

And of course, yes, there are good travel agents and as I described circumstances where they are a useful resource.

But in a world of aggregators and other things, many travel agents are just middle men.

Blaming AI for “destroying another middle class profession” ignores years of decline bringing us here. Might it be the final nail in the coffin? Maybe. But AI can’t really wear the guilt on the demise.
