<p>Open AI created ChatGPT, a complete language tool that responds to different requests. People all around the world are intrigued with how AI responds since it was released late last year and are using it to write theses, debates, and much more. &nbsp;After a six-hour flight delay, a woman passenger used an AI bot and instructed it to write to the airline a "polite but passively aggressive and firm" email.

<p>“This is the future. What jobs will be replaced by ChatGPT?” read the caption posted alongside the video shared on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The quick email composed&nbsp;by AI on the woman's behalf expressed&nbsp;"frustration and disappointment" in the right proportion.

<p>On Wednesday, thousands of flights in the United States were grounded due to what was earlier believed to be a 'technical snag' but further investigation "traced the outage to a damaged database file".

Explained: How a corrupted file brought US aviation to its knees

<p>A computer glitch in the Federal Aviation Administration system resulted in affecting hundreds of flights in the United States, causing havoc. The failure of NOTAM, or Notice to Air Missions, was to blame for this. What does NOTAM mean and how its failure has impacted US flight operations? It is basically a notice that provides information that is necessary for those involved in flight operations. The failure of NOTAM means that the computer systems were not able to provide information to flights. All of this resulted in chaos at US airports.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How NOTAM failure impacted flight operations?</strong></h2>

<p>Although it is yet unclear how the NOTAM failure may have affected US aviation operations, it appears that they were affected because those engaged in the process must not have known about the flying information due to NOTAM failure.</p>

<h2><strong>How many cancellations and delays?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

A computer glitch in the Federal Aviation Administration system resulted in affecting hundreds of flights in the United States, causing havoc. The failure of NOTAM, or Notice to Air Missions, was to blame for this.

A computer glitch in the Federal Aviation Administration system resulted in affecting hundreds of flights in the United States, causing havoc. The failure of NOTAM, or Notice to Air Missions, was to blame for this. What does NOTAM mean and how its failure has impacted US flight operations? It is basically a notice that provides information that is necessary for those involved in flight operations. The failure of NOTAM means that the computer systems were not able to provide information to flights. All of this resulted in chaos at US airports. How NOTAM failure impacted flight operations? Although it is yet unclear how the NOTAM failure may have affected US aviation operations, it appears that they were affected because those engaged in the process must not have known about the flying information due to NOTAM failure.

<p>A rare heavy blanket of snow in Tokyo on Tuesday left thousands of travellers stranded and scores injured, as frozen conditions snarled public transport in the Japanese capital.</p>

<p>Japan&#39;s weather agency recorded as much as 23 centimetres (9.2 inches) of snow in some parts of Tokyo, the biggest snowfall since February 2014.</p>

<p>The weather paralysed Monday evening&#39;s commute as millions of workers battled to get home in one of the world&#39;s most populous cities.</p>

<p>Notoriously hard-working Japanese employees were urged to knock off early but this did not prevent delays and crushes at major stations.</p>

<p>Public broadcaster NHK said at least 180 people had sustained minor injuries on the frozen streets and there had been around 700 traffic accidents, police said.&nbsp;</p>

Britain will not decide where to build a new runway at Heathrow airport until at least October due to the political turmoil following Britons&#39; vote to leave the European Union, transport minister Patrick McLoughlin said today.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
London&#39;s Heathrow, Britain and Europe&#39;s busiest airport, has been campaigning for 25 years for an extra runway and a decision had been expected this summer, after it was pushed back by the government from last year.<br />
<br />
But, after his side lost the vote on the country&#39;s EU membership, Prime Minister David Cameron said he would resign by October, and a Conservative leadership contest has begun.<br />
<br />
&quot;Being realistic, given recent events, I cannot now foresee an announcement (on airport capacity in southeast England) until at least October,&quot; McLoughlin told lawmakers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Cameron&#39;s government has been considering for four years where to build the runway, with Heathrow seen as the front-runner over Gatwick, Britain&#39;s second busiest airport, after it was selected by the Davies independent commission in 2015.<br />
<br />
However, his possible successor Theresa May opposes Heathrow expansion.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Another high-profile opponent of Heathrow expansion, former London mayor Boris Johnson, said on Thursday he would not be standing for the Conservative leadership.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Business leaders have repeatedly called on the government to build a new runway as Heathrow, Europe&#39;s busiest airport, is already full.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
But past attempts to expand the airport, 15 miles west of London in a densely populated area, have been scuppered by local opposition over worries about increased noise and air pollution.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
McLoughlin said a government analysis on air quality linked to expansion would be published soon, and said that despite the delays the runway could still be built by the 2030 deadline set by the Davies commission report.<br />
<br />
The latest delay to Heathrow&#39;s 18 billion pound ($24 billion) expansion plan was criticised by business groups.<br />
<br />
The British Chambers of Commerce said the government was missing an opportunity to stimulate business confidence, while the City of London Corporation said competing on a world stage meant being able to build new trade links.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A quarter of the country&#39;s exports move through Heathrow, Britain&#39;s biggest port, but it has no extra capacity to add routes to new markets including China.<br />
<br />
&quot;If Britain wants to be confident, outward-looking and at the centre of the world&#39;s economy then expanding Heathrow must be a key building block in the government&#39;s Brexit plan,&quot; Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye said in a statement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Tesco chairman John Allan told BBC radio that a delay was &quot;unhelpful&quot; and lamented the fact that &quot;reasons of internal party management&quot; came ahead of what was in the nation&#39;s interest.&nbsp;<br />

Heathrow has been pushing for 25 years for an extra runway but efforts have been thwarted by opposition to increased noise and air pollution
