Pilots and ChatGP

How soon before it can pass an FAA exam? Just kidding. It probably already can.



We’re not far off from the point where we’ll just have to accept that the purpose of an exam is merely to see if a person can use the technology. Because that’s all that humans will be doing very soon.
 
Babylon Bee set up ChatGP to make up joke articles about AOC. I find this fairly clever no matter who they'd have picked or if some other group picked Trump or Desantis etc.


There is a link at the bottom to click to generate a new article.

Edit: it appears if you click the article I posted, that itself is random. The article I copied and what I got after pasting here for y'all were different.

AI really didn't bother me until I saw AI art.

Commanding movie mashups and seeing the results is more than a bit unnerving.

The Jim Henson and H R Geiger mashup is something.

At least for now, AI seems to mess up fingers still....

I've been drawing since I was a little kid, just as some actors say they don't know what to do with their hands I've always found it difficult to portray hands naturally. I've seen some very odd AI portrayals and I think it might be something that distinguishes AI versus an actual artist, an actual person can quickly determine whether or not something they're looking at is relatable and how they use their hands is pretty obvious.
 
Why do so many of these AI things have extra fingers or extra rows of teeth? I get that it's AI but how come AI doesn't know what normal is? I would have thought there have to be some underlying parameters.

Not 100% sure, but most artists have the hardest time with fingers. There are so many positions, orientations and non standard movements.
and human artists know for a fact that there are 4 fingers and a thumb
Eyes are always in the same place, as are ears, mouth legs and arms.
Fingers are at least 2 orders of magnitude more difficult to predict.
At this point, AI doesn't really 'know' direct facts as much as find patterns in the ether
(at least in this specific AI)
If the AI that knows can be accurate can be combined with AI that learns by patterns, it will be an interesting day.
and by interesting I mean horrific.

I give it 1 year in the open, could be active behind closed doors.

AI doesn't have hands or fingers, it can't portray something honestly that it doesn't understand. Humans have only evolved to this point based on visual cues, AI is not going to sneak in and disrupt that primary instinct. Behind what closed doors? Ears and nipples are always the same horizontal distance apart.

A lot of modern machine learning (that’s what this really is, not AI) is a “black box,” meaning even its programmers don’t entirely understand why it does what it does and there are no underlying parameters. They programmed it to detect patterns and to “learn” from them, but knowing what caused it to go a certain way after that is essentially impossible.

That was a thirty minute "clickhole". Dangit, bobby!

That's why the Red Line is when AI rewrites its code in a way and in a method that is not understood by the initial programmers.

Help me write a cabin announcement. It’s my first day on the job as a pilot for this airline. Our flight plan is EWR-DFW. I need to let the passengers know what to expect with weather when we get there. Give them a little fun fact of DFW and the A320 they’re flying on.



Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard this flight from EWR to DFW. This is Captain [Your Name] speaking, and I'm thrilled to be your pilot on this journey. It's my first day with this airline, and I'm excited to fly you to Dallas.
We've received clearance for takeoff, and we expect to have a smooth and comfortable flight. As we approach Dallas, the weather is forecast to be sunny and warm, with temperatures reaching up to [insert temperature] degrees Fahrenheit. So, make sure to get ready for the Texas heat when we land.
Before we take off, I'd like to share a fun fact about DFW. Did you know that the airport covers a massive 27 square miles, making it larger than the island of Manhattan? It's a true marvel of engineering and a testament to human innovation.
I'd also like to introduce you to the aircraft we'll be flying on today, the Airbus A320. This aircraft is a marvel of modern technology, capable of carrying up to 150 passengers. It's a comfortable and reliable aircraft that's trusted by airlines around the world.
We're committed to providing you with a safe and comfortable flight, so please don't hesitate to reach out to our cabin crew if you need anything during the flight. Thank you for choosing to fly with us today, and we hope you have a pleasant flight to Dallas.

I need to “check in” with ATC but want to make it funny



While it's important to maintain professionalism when communicating with air traffic control, it's always good to have a bit of fun. Here's an example of a check-in message that's lighthearted and humorous:
"Good morning ATC, this is [Your Callsign] checking in. Just wanted to make sure you're awake up there and not just hitting the snooze button. We're cruising at [Your Altitude] and heading towards our destination with the grace and elegance of a butterfly in a windstorm. Looking forward to hearing your soothing voice on the radio. Over."
Remember to keep it appropriate and respectful while keeping it light-hearted and fun. Happy flying!
 
Perhaps.

But it still happened.


Here you go , you media snowflake! (Is that a thing? If not, it is now ;) )


Massive overreaction. People get worked up about the silliest things.

But the funniest part of this article is this: “Nicole M. Joseph, the Associate Dean for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion…” It baffles me that this is an actual job title. There’s no more useless person on earth.
