You don't seem to understand, it's fine for them to use AI to use "dynamic pricing" but for you to navigate their ridiculous refund/claim processes, using AI, that's "unfair"

You see how it's unfair when you do it... right?

i agree, however we also agree to their terms of service when using their product.

They will change when a significant portion of booking are happening via agents, and they would be missing out if they didn't change.
