Sure as shit not one I’m ever getting on.
The whole point of a co-pilot is to make sure there’s a human in the loop of both critical jobs, pilot flying and pilot monitoring. AI can augment both positions, but it’s a considerably-more-self-aware-than-C-3PO away from being able to replace either when the bird hits the fan.
