If true and this ends up lasting an hour or more, that's going to be undeniably, objectively hilarious. At least they used to keep the planes running on time!

Oh boy, that feels plausible. Some of these legacy systems are pretty fragile and aren't designed to be queried heavily outside of well established patterns.

I could see AI deploying something that just obliterates those systems with requests.

If so we are really speedrunning into idiocracy with AI.
