What I'm hearing is, they will literally risk people dying on planes just to train AI AND would rather do that than hire/employ actual staff that will do the work. Somehow, paying their staff a liveable wage and treating them like a human being just doesn't bode well enough for the rich people making these decisions.

This is fucking insane. I bet you that none of the places with private jets flying all these asshole c-suite execs are using AI. It's only being forced on the public because the idiots bought into the hype and don't know how else to make money out of it.

What could possibly go wrong?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh man! Pilot here.

And we thought Reagan fucked up!

Lord I’m never flying again now.

Or we could hire more air traffic controllers and upgrading their systems from 1970.

My mistake, you’re absolutely right -- I neglected to ensure the runway was clear before scheduling that landing. Please accept my apologies for causing those deaths. I’m really glad to be working with you, it’s reassuring that you’ll always keep me honest. You’re not just an assistant traffic controller -- you’re a friend.

The reasons never to visit the US, keep piling up.

Ya know......when I watched 9/11 happen live on tv, it never once crossed my mind that the next time this happened it would be because people are going to become too stupid to fly planes themselves.

Aside from obvious safety issues, I fully expect your already numb ass will sit on the runway/gate for another hour while the palantir executives private jets laden with your tax dollars take up all of the takeoff slots. Enjoy that knowledge while the kid behind you starts kicking the back of your seat.

Good luck, alpha testers!

There some people gonna die

So when, and i do mean when, this results in a crash, who will be held responsible?

Welp, I'm fine continuing to never get on a plane post PATRIOT ACT.

All American Roadtrips forever, apparently.

People just straight up believe AI is magic.

We don't have enough air traffic controllers.

We use AI to reduce their workload. <---- We are here

We don't need as many air traffic controllers.

We sack more air traffic controllers.

We don't have enough air traffic controllers.

Prompt unclear, plane stuck in skyscraper.

National Geographic producers are rubbing their hands knowing that future seasons of Air Crash Investigations are secure.

"Someone's got their head in the clouds."

No, someone's got their head up their ass.

After the first few avoidable crashes, entire countries will refuse to fly to America.

Fuck AI for this, but there's a lot of room in ATC for further automation. To be perfectly honest, if the planes can more or less land themselves, and they're all fly-by-wire, I could see nearly automating the whole thing. Phase it in over a 10-year plan... computers HAVE to be able to be better at this than one unpaid, overworked, under-rested controller.

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.

when you have the pilot and microslop copilot:

I tried to use AI to install a reverse osmosis water system yesterday, I asked it to look at manual for hose colors to match them, I figured it would save me a few mins.

After an hour of it not working and trying all sorts of nonsense I looked in manual to have it show me it had given me all the wrong information to a simple task.

I can't wait to have people's lives reliant on this technology.
