The speaker refuses to let AI book flights, even for simple routes. An 80% success rate means a 20% failure risk, and they'd need 99.99% accuracy before trusting an agentic system with something that important.

I would never use any of the agentic systems to book me a flight. Even if it's a simple task, I can ask any sort of agentic systems to go, you know, find the flights from Pittsburgh to San Francisco, you know, next Tuesday and book a flight for me. I would never do that. Even if it's 80% correct, there is at least this 20% gap where it will go and do something crazy, right? And I cannot, that cannot happen, right? The fact of the matter is they would have to be almost like 99.99% accurate for me to fully trust them, right?
