Evan's f*****g dream for commercial aviation is that pilots adapt to the job of flying via the automation but also, when the automation malfunctions or is otherwise incapable of managing the situation, have the skills and the means to safely get the plane back on the ground. When the automation is functioning (99.999% of the time), it is safer and more reliable than the average human pilot in performing the rote tasks of piloting along a smooth, gradual flight path. It isn't vulnerable to over-confidence, get-there-itis, memory lapse, distraction, procedural lapses, stress, panic or confused situational awareness. This makes air travel immensely safer. On the other hand, automation isn't as good at adapting to unforeseen challenges (although ai is getting remarkably good at it) and this is where the pilot is essential (and the second pilot is essential for task sharing and human redundancy).
So, in Evan's dream, we still still have two pilots. But their job is to manage an automated flight environment. By the way, that's allso everyone's reality.
Evan's other f******g dream for entertainment is to have a light single engine aerobatic plane with no automation to fly rodeo style where he presents no risk to anyone but himself.
Do you see the difference?
Curious why you think AI is getting good at it. AI doesn't typically deal with the unknown very well at all. It has no context.
A lot of incidents occur from one of the following: Pilots losing context and crashing the plane. Instruments/sensors failing, autopilot stopping and pilots unable to gather context quick enough to save the plane.

Your going to love this. The new Falcon 10X (comes out in 2025) will have a "single power lever connected to the digital flight control system, which will enable the addition of Recovery Mode that will return the twinjet to stable flight after an upset in any configuration." AIN online.
Pretty soon they'll only require one pilot and that pilot will taxi out to the runway and taxi back, everything else will be automated.
Not sure what is the relationship between a single power lever and an automatic upset recovery mode (which already exists in several general aviation piston singles and in my $175 RC plane).
