AI boll**cks
AI is a total fantasy, yeah we can make computers that win at chess or that game go, (which is actually a really simple game with many millions of sequences), but put it In perspective. - These computers win because they were programed solely for winning these games only. Yes a great feat of engineering and programming skill but let's look at the big picture, it can't adapt and play any other game and would totally suck at asteroids or tetris and in fact could not even learn these games as they haven't been programed to do so. It would be impossible for a programmer to write a flight logic program that covers free thought for every possible flight scenario that the human brain can interpret and act upon in a matter of seconds. And a computer can still only learn what it's been told to learn, it can't step out of line like a human brain can and learn and adapt infinitely, logically and at tangents a computer can only dream of. AI will only be a reality when a mushy blob of a brain is hooked up to a computer. Not gonna happen for a long time. Don't confuse complex and lengthy computer programming with actual or artificial intelligence. But a computer that can fly from A To B is no problem even for today, just don't expect it to deal with something the programer has forgotten to program in which is where a human pilot always has the advantage.
But flying is great fun and although being a pilot seems to get worse from a financial and lifestyle point of view as time passes, it's still a good career choice for those willing to sacrifice. Might be paid the same as the average earner in 2050 but will never will be a average job. I'd still say yes.
