What could possibly go wrong?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

What's the worst thing that could happen??

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 41 points 2 days 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.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 12 points 2 days 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.

[–] turboSnail@piefed.europe.pub 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Grok will be the pilot and Copilot will be the copilot. Air traffic control could be handled by GPT.

I love it so much. This way, the billionaire problem should be solved in about three days.

even having 1 crash would be interesting

[–] alpha1beta@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] searabbit@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 1 day ago

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

with so little ATC already as well.
