No, because it is not designed to work beyond simple parameters.

It can easily be given wider parameters.

Can you suggest a parameter that a human can use that the machine could not?

I think that we can both agree that modern aircraft are well beyond a 2, even if I would not suggest we are quite as far down the list as others.

Certainly autopilot and autothrust alone are a well up the list, at least a 5 and they are ubiquitous since the 60s
