Imagine it did this twice as fast, and cost the same. Is that worse? A per hour figure would suggest so. What if it was far slower, would that be better?

Yes. It could do it ten times as fast. A hundred times as fast. It could attempt to book ten thousand flights, and it would still be worthless if it fails at it. The reason we make machines is to replace humans doing menial work. Humans, while fallible, tend to not majorly fuck up hundreds of times in a row and tell you "I did it boss!" after charging your card for $6000. Humans also don't get to hide behind the excuse of "oh but it'll get better." As long as it has a non zero chance to fuck up and doesn't even take responsibility, it means ithat it's wasting my money running, _and_ wasting my time because I have to double check its bullshit.
It's worthless as long as it is not infinitely better. I don't need a bot to play music on Spotify for me, I can do that on my own time if it's the only thing it succeeds at.
