That's a downright insane comparison. The whole problem with generative AI is how extremely unreliable it is. You cannot really trust it with anything because irrespective of its average performance, it has absolutely zero guarantees on its worst-case behavior.

Aviation autopilot systems are the complete opposite. They are arguably the most reliable computer-based systems ever created. While they cannot fly a plane alone, pilots can trust them blindly to do specific, known tasks consistently well in over 99.99999% of cases, and provide clear diagnostics in case they cannot.

If gen AI agents were this consistently good at anything, this discussion would not be happening.
