We checked: Could ChatGPT have saved you from a plane crash?

Channel 14 tested whether ChatGPT could assist in an aviation emergency, following the incident on a Flydubai flight. In the trial, the chatbot responded relatively slowly given the urgency of the scenario, highlighting the gap between the shouts and the delayed responses. The test was defined as a non-professional simulation.

Following the incident on a Flydubai flight, Channel 14 conducted an experiment: a voice conversation with ChatGPT in an aviation emergency scenario. The plane is diving, the pilot is incapacitated, and there is no one to help. The goal was to examine the chatbot's response rate in a situation presented as an immediate life-threatening danger. In the trial, ChatGPT struggled to match the sense of urgency: responses were delayed, the speech pace was slow, and the gap between the shouts and the answers was felt. The article emphasizes that this is only a simulation, without an actual plane or flight systems, and is not a professional test. Nevertheless, the experiment illustrated a gap that could be critical in a real situation. The article concludes with appreciation for the real passengers who acted bravely on the flight.
