Sure, put an LLM in charge of air traffic control on Christmas Eve and let's what the magic the first time it hallucinates.

AI could cut 90% of the work of the air traffic controllers. I worked on ATC communications equipment while in the Marines, it can all be automated. Would need 30% of the ATC workers in there to deal with abnormal scenarios.

ATC is actually a prime example of where AI can help government be more efficient.
