More aviation companies are looking to AI to usher in a new evolution in air travel by using it to automate tasks for pilots and perhaps one day enable fully autonomous flights. https://cnn.it/4wNK7QS

Those machines can not navigate a 2D plane without complete controlled environment. How do these folks believe the third dimension will be fine?

I guess that's a (hell of a fucking) way to make people stop flying... Do huge boats/yachts next. Maybe genai aren't going to completely destroy the environment, but in fact get more people to care for it once they don't have water anymore, and use less polluting transportation ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ᴼ⁠ل͜⁠ᴼ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It might be an idea to get AI to not give a wrong answer to 90% of questions its asked first, before literally putting our lives in its hands, maybe?

They already have strict non-use cases for autopilot. That should remain true for AI which is really already what autopilot is. So basically the status quo is fine as is.

Don’t flight management systems already do a huge amount of “cruise control” flying already? I’m glad pilots do the important parts (take off and landing), and there’s apparently already auto-land systems, so adding potential AI “hallucinations” seems bad, but I’m not a pilot. Maybe this is best 🤪

Flight control systems are very expensive software packages. Why pay for off-the-shelf when you can just... <I'm sorry, you are out of tokens. We can resume piloting your flight as soon as you purchase more.>

Pilot error is bad. If someone dies it’s really bad. There CAN be accountability. When AI error goes wrong where is accountability? AI can NOT be held responsible. AI can not do a job that needs accountability. This has already been in a few movies. Law makers, keep up. Picking “military” targets?!!

With AI piloting our flights, nothing could go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wrong. go wro

AI can barely drive cars and you are pushing this? They already have autopilots, it needs to be supervised. Nobody wants this, except the tech bros running this grift. All we want is for the AI bubble to pop so you shut up about it.

Utter nonsense. Existing autopilots have been capable of this for DECADES already, yet we still have real crew in the cabins because fully autonomous flight is not allowed for safety reasons. Just look at how many "full self driving" issues Tesla's been having, then add a 3rd dimension... Nope.

“This is your AI pilot speaking. We are making our approach now. If you look out your window, you’ll notice the ground rushing up to catch us. Weeeeeee.”

Hey, remember a few years ago when an entire Boeing model got grounded worldwide because an automated system flew one airliner into the sea and another into the ground against the pilots’ efforts, killing all 346 people aboard? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Oh yeah because we already dont have enough flight accidents.. I swear to god.. capitalism and his cronies will litterally kill itself before stopping with this AI lunacy
