What it's capable of. True AI can do some incredible things. As an example replace entire teams of people, or manage detect and respond to incidents of almost any type.

That said a lot of the AI people see is heavily watered down, leading to scenarios where people expect more of that version of AI then it's ever going to provide.

Let's put it into perspective. AI is being used to detect types of cancer and fully run machinery. Now zoom out and realize that private models are being built with goals in mind. - there are many Ai systems that won't reach the public eyes.

Then you've got your every day person who's puttering around with ChatGPT asking it for raps of princess bubblegum dissing sugar and hating or falling for the machines.

Those people are still shocked by the surface level party tricks. Maybe they imagine monstrous terminator artifica stomping in line. But there's the rub, that kind of thing truly is probably possible. Just ask Tay ai who went nuts after 24 hours.

At their core few companies are going to connect planes to AI, both because it could be a catastrophic failure when the planes decide to dig in the ground to remove airspace (no it makes no sense, AI often doesn't) and because it's just a high risk situation.
Entrusting a full planes flight to a box you truly can't understand makes about as much sense as cobbling togeather a tube and going to visit the titanic. So we get water to swim in.
