Plus, these automated AI actions have the potential to violate FAA and DOT regulations - as an example, flight check-in requires human acknowledgment that bags do not contain banned substances like explosives.
Maybe, just maybe, the idea of checking in before you’re physically at the place you’re checking into is a half-baked, short-sighted idea which defeats the entire purpose of “checking in” somewhere and should have never been implemented in the first place?
Yeah I’m not sure what the purpose of the check in even is. I’ve only flown in the last decade or so, so it’s always been online for me. I believe in-person was actually a paid option for some airline.
So they can use AI to collect and analyze all the data about me to be able to squeeze out even more money out of me but when I use it then suddenly they have to save me from my own AI because I don’t know where my own AI will send my data?
I smell bullshit.
It’s because AI agents will find the cheapest tickets. United, and every other major airliner, manipulate ticket prices on a per-user-session basis to try to milk as much money as they can out of you. An AI agent will bypass the dark patterns on the ticketing web pages to ensure that you get the base-rate ticket price, or as close to it as possible. That’s the only reason they’re banned.
Can’t wait for airlines to be nationalized and their current leadership to be deported on the same planes they rented out to modern day Nazis
Well, you CAN wait, you just won’t live long enough.
Nah, at this rate, the Trump regime is on track to completely nuke us into an actual representative Democracy. Also IMO gas prices are never getting any better so idk how those fuckers will manage to exist privately, even if we bail them out… but also we dont have bailout money no more lmao
