    Hi. I dont know shit about flying or the demands of personnel in a control tower (especially at a place like atl). I’m also fairly anti-AI for various reasons. But it seems to me, from ground level and with a view of the trees, that AI would be better at juggling all of the data and variables of planes in the sky, compared to a moron like me. Given that you’re a pilot, can you help me understand why that’s not the case?

      Do you actually use AI? Even the most advanced models constantly make mistakes. And not small ones either

      These AIs are language models, they are not good at making decisions that require live context or a memory longer than 5 minutes.

      There’s an IMMENSE amount of human interaction in air traffic control. The thing AI is the absolute worst at.

      The only real way it could work is if everything was turned over to computers. And we’re not there yet.

      AI doesn’t juggle data and variables very well, add the fact you have been lied to about what AI does to your list of reasons.

      Yeah I could imagine well made traffic management software could be a real positive. But we all know AI shits the bed sometimes, it should always be overseen by human controllers.
