According to witness statements, the feat is “nothing short of a miracle” and has made them “really think about the future of AI”.What happened?Global View News Florida first broke the story. According to the report, the incident took place onboard a Floridian Skyways Boeing 737, flying from San Juan Airport (SJU) to Tampa International Airport (TPA), on April 1, 2023.While approaching TPA, the pilot notified flight control that he felt dizzy and that the first officer had passed out. Shortly after, the crew squawked emergency code 7700 and stopped responding to flight control.According to GVN Florida, John Williams, 45, was traveling back from a vacation in Puerto Rico with his wife, and two children, entered the cockpit, and took control of the plummeting aircraft with the help of the ChatGPT app on his phone.“I whipped out the app and yelled, ‘tell me how to fly a plane’,” Williams is quoted as saying in the report. “The app starts explaining what knob to turn and what lever to pull and whatnot, and there you go, I’m flying the damn plane!” Williams added.It is currently unclear how Williams was able to enter the cockpit during the uncontrolled dive. Pilot cabin doors are typically locked during flights.Miraculous landing.AeroTime was able to contact Daisy [the name has been changed to retain anonymity – AeroTime], who was on the flight and witnessed the event. "The landing was really smooth," she said. "It seemed far smoother than any other low-cost airline landing I've witnessed."In the aftermath of the incident, Floridian Skyways shared a tweet by Passengers for Smoother Landings, a non-governmental organization, which describes itself as “a grassroots movement which has never received a single cent from corporate backers.” “How the hell do airlines still allow human pilots to fly the planes? Dangerous and irresponsible. Put AI in charge of flying NOW!” the tweet said.The tweet has been shared by a number of other low-cost airlines around the world.”PS: We understand the significance of the aviation industry and take it very seriously.
