Sonu Sood reacts to viral video of passenger attacking pilot, urges public to be patient

<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. The email that AI drafted after was nothing short of perfection.</p>

<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. It's interesting because it addressed every aspect of the prompt and expressed optimism for future "improvements" in the airline's handling of flight delays and passengers' priorities, as reported by the Hindustan Times.&nbsp;</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.

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. 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. The email that AI drafted after was nothing short of perfection. “This is the future. What jobs will be replaced by ChatGPT?” read the caption posted alongside the video shared on Instagram. The quick email composed by AI on the woman's behalf expressed "frustration and disappointment" in the right proportion. It's interesting because it addressed every aspect of the prompt and expressed optimism for future "improvements" in the airline's handling of flight delays and passengers' priorities, as reported by the Hindustan Times.

The rate of flight cancellations and delays is higher this year than before the pandemic due to bad weather and staffing shortages.

Rate of flight cancellations, delays higher this year

<p>A wandering turtle forced an&nbsp;airport in Tokyo to temporarily suspend its operations after it was spotted on the runway by a pilot who was about to take off.</p>

<p>After the pilot informed the traffic controllers, the runway was shut down for 12 minutes on Friday causing a delay for five flights as the airport staff scrambled to catch the creature.</p>

<p>The turtle, said to be measuring about 30 centimetres in length and weighing over 2 kilograms, was walking across the runway, Narita International Airport Corporation said.</p>

<p>Sometimes, runways are forced to close because of aircraft parts or birds, but it’s rare to find small animals, the company reportedly said.</p>

<p>Narita officials believe the creature may have come from the airport’s retention pond, located about 100 metres from the runway.</p>
