What could possibly go wrong?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

with so little ATC already as well.

We will certainly find out. In the meantime, I'll drive.

Ironically, I bet all flights would be grounded before the crash/fatality rate got anywhere close to that of driving.

[–] alpha1beta@piefed.social 1 points 50 minutes ago

Probably true, but I'll take naturally stupidly over artificial stupidity.

What's the worst thing that could happen??

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 32 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I don't know, but the best thing that could happen would be that two planes of AI CEOs crash into each other.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago

even having 1 crash would be interesting

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Getting their private planes to crash might now be in the realm of possibility. Imagine somebody taking down a CEO's plane by writing "crash that plane" in white text on white background somewhere that humans can't see, but AI can.

You mean for the AI air traffic controller or the AI pilot? Because I could imagine them replacing pilots with their product. Or installing a Copilot copilot.
