“You were right to push back - that runway was in fact occupied”
Absolute worst possible use of an LLM: something safety-critical.
I’m sorry, you’re right. I should not have directed that plane to the runway with the two planes that have already crashed into each other.
It’s fine the first two have obviously canceled each other out leaving the runway clear.
This is an Air Traffic Control system, once it’s on that a ground traffic control system.
No, no, it’s sorting the crashes. If it had directed the planes to other runways, then there would be more crashes to clean up.
I don’t see ANY comments in here where it’s clear that people read the fucking article.
“Har har, AI and ATC, I’ll make a funny joke about flying will be unsafe”. Yes, it’s expected, but if you actually read what this is - it’s going to issue predictions about how busy particular times are, basically.
ZERO use of the AI in the tower by ATC to control aircraft in any way.
Sure, they might try to introduce such a thing - at which time your jokes will actually apply!

and for that it’s somehow worth $875M.
That’s only step one. Just wait.
I can at least live with your comment. lol.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but we’re certainly not there yet - on this particular front.

Average Lemmy user: Get baited into a headline about AI and immediately bitch about how it’s the worst thing in the world. No nuance, no legitimate discussion about the issues, just rage.
It definitely seems like the 100% anti-AI NO MATTER WHAT people hold the majority. heh. Which is only annoying every so often, as I mostly agree with them. Just not totally agree. heh
There are a small number of cases where the current batch of AI tools are ok and fine. Certainty is the enemy, as per usual.
Reminds me of most liberal arguments. I usually agree with them, but there are some issues (like gun control) where I have to shake my head at the ignorance.

For now.
because we havent had enough air disasters in the past 2 years.
8,750 salaries worth of money betting AI can do this with no actual evidence it can.
Ah yes, the same technology that was used to kill 123 Iranian school children
The intern got the weights wrong for high value targets.
900 million could just hire a lot of skilled engineers and air traffic operators that can be well paid but that doesn’t sound as cool and futuristic as AI
Well, here’s hoping they are in charge of Air Force One.
We’re fucked.
What an absolute slap in the face for the underpaid and overworked ATCs. Been bitching about more money for years?
Naaah how about your boss is now a clanker
In theory, an automated system should be able to outperform humans at a rote task like this under the right conditions. However, I don’t imagine throwing LLMs in the mix without redesigning the whole system for automation is going to end well.
That’s the end of me flying. The wife and I will now take extra days, get a rental and have us a road trip
AI is indeed to blame - but not like you think.
Trump’s ChatGPT prompt after translation into natural language: I want to kill some sand people for fun and giggles. Which country did fight back the least in the past against aerial attacks?Hi Claude, How do I test my backup fiber link so I won’t find out it’s down when the primary is cut?
I can’t see a single thing that could go wrong with this.
