What do we think, within 5 years pilots will be talking to AI chatbots that handle air traffic?

Is there a plane about to crash? Say 1 for not sure, 2 for normal business hours, 3 for no, or 4 for I'M SORRY I didn't catch that, say 1 for not sure...

Of all the things to use an AI chatbot for, this might be the worst one.

That's assuming AI still stay as it is forever. In 3-5 years every job that can be done on a computer will be able to be done better by an AI designed for that job. The only issue will be adoption, not the tech itself.

That's quite an assertion. Why do you think that's true?

All jobs done on a computer are information processing. AI is approaching human level information processing in every benchmark we can throw at it. By the time it eclipses all trained humans, using an AI to do a human job will be a no-brainer, as AI's:

1. Don't require health insurance/mental health leave/PTO

2. Can work 24/7

3. Are infinitely replicatable

4. More interpretable/modifiable than human intelligence

2 years ago the best AI art models were worse than 99% of human artists, now they're better than 99% of them. The same thing will happen to every skill that isn't based on motor/sensory abilities.

What happens once AI is able to do all our work for us? What will humans spend their time doing?
