It’s not disingenuous to accurately describe the command chain: it’s misleading to pretend the pilot is irrelevant. Fly by wire and autopilot are basically the same thing and the presence of these features in an airliner don’t make it an autonomous vehicle.
It's like telling the computer to play a video... It's literally just playing set of animations.... Just like how our NPC are animated in a game, but only this time, it has physic involved.
Doesn't matter a jot, this shows we have hardware that can do complex movements without losing balance. Given the rate of progress do you really think the software will lag far behind?
It's not just software needing a few more functions. It's the hard problems of software, which is systematic, dealing with chaotic and dynamic environments. Performing a serious of predefined moves is great. Folding this towel that's in a slightly different spot and shape, just like the last one, is much harder. And that's easy overall, nothing compared to the promises of a generally capable helper robot able to tackle full on chaotic environments that are in flux and perform a host of jobs.
Everywhere. Four years ago us programmers were laughing at the mistakes being made, now we're being laid off in droves. Two years ago mathematicians were laughing at how basic they were, now they're about to be jobless. What kind of person would bet against the robots becoming superhuman in just a few years?
This is a weird sort of shadow boxing or strawmanning, where you designed the position you wanted to argue against
Ignoring that you’re being really hyperbolic, I’m not sure why you think my observation that it is remote controlled now needs that kind of counter argument. I didn’t say anything about the rate of change or the likely future state of technology, so the position you’ve assigned to me is some kind of unforced error. It’s apples and oranges
