The Dark Side of AI in Tourism…
Let's dive into some fresh research that's got the tourism world shaking in their boots.
The Tea: Between hotels swapping humans for robo-receptionists and chatbots sliding into customer DMs, shit's getting real for tourism workers.
Here's what's keeping people up at night:
Your Career? AI Says "Hold My Circuits" 🤖
• Remember when being good at your job meant job security? Yeah, about that...
• By 2025, AI might be doing your job while you're still figuring out how to pronounce "artificial intelligence"
• Some big brains predict 47% of US workers might need to find new jobs because AI's coming in hot
• Even Singapore's sweating, with predictions that computers will wipe out 1/4 of tourism jobs
When Your Robot Coworker Gets Employee of the Month
• Hotels are going full Terminator with AI concierges, robot bellhops, and automated everything
• These silicon-based smartasses can check you in, carry your bags, and probably judge your vacation choices
• COVID made it worse - turns out robots don't need sick days or masks
• Remember personal service? AI's making it "personalized" but without the "person" part
The Plot Twist 🌀
It's not all doom and gloom (just mostly). Some experts say AI still needs humans to:
• Handle the emotional stuff (robots still suck at empathy)
• Deal with complex situations (try asking a robot to handle a Karen)
• Create authentic local experiences (good luck getting cultural insights from an algorithm)
