SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE'copilot' is a very funny name for an AI because imagine you were trying to fly an airplane and the pilot next to you was pressing the wrong controls 20% of the time and was saying things like "planes don't actually need wheels to land"
Alex ☕🇨🇦@selfsame you ask your co-piolot to kindly land the plane and it gets the notion that you want to get to the ground, but not the notion that you want to stay alive
ChrisM@Alexjgriffith @selfsame just remember that the human is the captain.

Chris Ahchay@selfsame I was watching some air crash analysis videos the other week and that's a surprisingly accurate summary
sortius@selfsame worst part is, a computer is a single pilot airframe, so any copilot would be surplus to requirements
geekysteven@selfsame hallucination is just a cool thing for a co-pilot to do
Greg@selfsame Captain, have you eaten a rock today?
Bishop Whitewind@selfsame "Planes actually evolved from whales and just decided to swim into the sky during the mid Jurassic era. Trust me you can just turn the engine off Sam"

Daniel@selfsame isn't that literally how we use autopilot: Have it follow a straight line path once it's up there. But for the critical part of takeoff and landing it's still humans.
In that analogy copilot is a helper for low-key plumbing and humans for everything critical.
Works perfectly 🦧💡

So, you're saying AI is like Boeing's flight assist systems?
Because that tracks O:)
Sarah Sammis@selfsame Years before the AI explosion, I wrote a nanowrimo (actually spread across two years) about an artificial planet that was in a perpetual war because the autopilot AI hadn't had any human supervision in years.
