Wow. Just wow. This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. So, how will the AI cope with a pilot not following instructions and/or confused by the instructions? Or better yet, how about weather events? It looks like self-driving cars, but with airplanes. If done even slightly incorrectly, it will be disastrous, but if it is not a real-time tool and has a human that actually checks its recommendations and acts accordingly, then it might be okay. Either way, I will be avoiding flying once this rolls out. WOW.
Mayday mayday mayday, we need to land immediately, but before we can do that, we need a python script that reverses the order of items in a linked list.....
I mean it feels like this is one of things that would benefit with automation, but because it is very hard problem we still use people do it.
The problem I'm having is the TV show host that is now running transportation thinks fucking chat bots have what it takes.
