Plus everything important is always written down.

It’s more true in aviation than anywhere else (except maybe space flight), but still.

And if it's written down, it's accurate. 100. Percent. Accurate. /s

And because it's accurate the AI will know how to weigh that accurate information against other accurate information in such a way that it will give you a great answer without any help. In other words: any amateur will be able to do aircraft maintenance! What can go wrong? /s

You know, if I had to make that bet, I would choose airline maintenance manuals as the test case.

Have you seen the maintenance manuals on an aircraft production line? They're in 3-ring binders, so you can take out and replace pages. They are constantly being corrected and updated. The industry recognizes they're never at 100% (and to their credit mitigation is part of the process).
