content: It's mostly just an example of the direction automation is going. I think when people who don't understand the field think of it, they mostly think of low skilled jobs being replaced. In reality robots are 'learning' to do everything from flipping burgers to performing surgery. And in the longrun AI will be better at most of everything technical than humans as well. They'll be able to think faster, have perfect recall, no emotional interference, consume and apply new information near instantly, etc.  So like this article mentions this AI is currently only landing successfully about 80% of the time. That is now the baseline. Any derivative AI will never go lower than that. Over time that number will converge towards 100% and that will be true for all derivative AIs. This of course is the hugely promising thing about AI. Teach one human to land perfectly and congrats you now have one plain capable of flying and landing perfectly. Teach one AI to land perfectly and you now have an infinite number of plains capable of flying and landing perfectly.
