I am positively surprised people noticed it is AI. I mean, I only see those example images in the article, they didn't trigger any red flags for me in particular. But maybe there's more in the actual magazine that does stand out.

So, first of all:

One key issue is “seat spinning,” where bots initiate the booking process but do not complete payment - by hoarding inventory temporarily, they reduce availability and may create a false perception of scarcity, which can influence pricing algorithms.

Pretty sure any "reputable" flight company is already doing that. I am not sure any consumer can really get clear evidence though. They don't need bots for this, they just tell their booking portal to lie.

Moving on:

In some cases, bots resell the tickets they secure through “ticket scalping,” pushing genuine customers toward inflated prices or unavailable flights.

Reselling means people book flights via what, eBay? Is there a market for reselling flight tickets? Depending on the country involved, destination and so on these bookings require you to leave a name or even passport details.

I've stopped reading after this paragraph. Is this just an AI written article of made up issues?

OK. I cannot decipher from those 3 pixels how cheap those tickets allegedly are.

Congrats, dumbest take you could have on this.

It's Airportr.

Interesting choice to give them boobs. Not that the average reader cares that its only female mosquitoes that bite.

It's fine to ask for money. Here I think it is just not clear why this would warrant a subscription model.

Yeah, not sure how that is confusing.

Fuck yes, Descent 2 was even better, with your small helper robot and even more cool weapons/rockets.

Is there any server component to it, other than serving updates? That would justify a subscription model, but I also cannot see any need for it for something like this.
