"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is it? How do you know? Let's just say you are right? How would that work? Have a person type in "I'm at Seattle airport, I have a plane looking to land from Arizona, they are 18 miles out and 2500 feet high, which runway should they use?"
That takes longer to type not even including calculation time. There is literally no benefit.
Well, yeah. Obviously there’s no benefit, that’s why this is a fucking stupid idea which will kill people if implemented
They get a digital signal from sensors, they need a digital output to determine if a plane is clear to land. Why do they want to incorporate human language at all? My guess, they are using the term Ai for pr reasons. Get signal from plane, determine best runway based on other plane locations, output result to screen. Technically marketing/pr can use the term Ai, easier and safer for everyone plus cheaper and better for environment and they can still jump on the hype train.
