    We’ve had self flying and landing planes for years though. You can’t really compare controlled airspace to the chaos that is operating on the ground.

    I’m still skeptical they won’t fuck it up, but this should be a manageable problem for ai.

      Because none of it relies on any kind of AI. It doesn’t have to make decisions, it just flies programmatically. If you commanded it to fly into the ground it would (has, Germanwings crash). Autopilot wont even respond to a collision avoidance resolution advisory.

      That’s different than AI tho

      That’s an example of a computer being utilized in the way ut should be (with predictable outcomes

        People don’t realize that LLMs are not computers.

        LLMs are software that turns a computer (an incredibly powerful tool of reliability and precision) into an imitation of a room temperature IQ person who thinks they’re an infallible genius because they can search google.

        Determinism is one of the greatest properties of a computer and should be the gold standard of any program. Guess what LLMs fundamentally can’t do?

      Yet pilots still fly and land manually. And if those systems work so well why haven’t we had self-controlling air traffic for years too?
