So, regarding UPS 2976…

2,871 Ntheleader  5 days ago

I’ve been heartbroken because of this crash recently, and especially because of what the media is portraying of it. For one, The investigation is NOT DONE! I, and many other actual pilots, have seen too much news saying that the CVR and FDR recordings are published. It’s not even been a month! Sometimes it takes YEARS for the recordings to be published, and sometimes they’re not even released at all for the sake of the families involved. Second, the freaking AIs have turned this thing into a viral trend, along with the other recent crashes of Air India 171 and the Reagan National collision early this year. Images, such as ones of the engine laying on the side of the runway or the impact and debris are insanely easy to tell they are ai generated, with mistakes such as aircraft type, damage to the aircraft, and to the buildings it impacted, being extremely visible, sometimes WITHOUT a CLEAR disclaimer that it is AI generated. Other things, such as the news posts about both it and it’s affect on… Kansas’ Mahomes? These AIs state that famous football players’ friends and family were onboard UPS 2976. UPS. United. Postal. Service!

THAT WAS A CARGO FLIGHT!!!!

LIKE, IT IS INSANE THAT THEY SAY OVER 3 PEOPLE WERE ON THAT CARGO PLANE! Rant over Albeit, they do have SOME, and I mean 2% credit for it because some 11 people died on the ground, but it’s still HIGHLY unlikely that it was such a coincidence that these football players’ homies were impacted in any way. It is seriously insane how far these guys will go for money, and there’s also that new thing where the AI attacked it’s “owner”, but we’re not talking about that! AI being used as a news source is downright SCANDALOUS and a practical form of SCAMMING! Sorry for my rant session, but I am seriously just SO MAD about this media hostility. My prayers go out to the 14 dead and any others Involved or in the wake of that accident, and I sincerely hope that nothing worse happens, Atleast till Christmas. NTH/NTL, over and out.

    @Boeing727200F @Cabbage17 Same conditions. AI is really a good thing, but when used to spread misinformation and sometimes to cause panic(SORAAAAA!) it becomes a hazard that can quite LITTERALLY trigger WORLD WAR 3

    yeah, agreed.
    Misinformation like that is just for content farming usually. Content farming = engagement = money. Money is the enemy of morality.

    We'll just wait for the preliminary and final reports to come out so we can potentially learn what happened.
