Have you seen how bad flight booking sites can get? I've had to download airline apps a majority of the time because the website failed to finish payment properly.

I don't think we should call presentations visionless or fault them for wanting to solve this UX nightmare.

And you want to add an unreliable, non-deterministic LLM into the flow too?
And this sounds like something you absolutely wouldn’t want an ai agent trying to figure out.

Claude is pretty amazing, but it still goes down rabbit holes and makes obvious mistakes. Combining that with "oops I just bought a non-refundable flight to the wrong city" seems... unfun.

That is never happened to me once.
So the solution to bad design and enshittification is to have an horde of agents to throw at tasks now?
