Boeing finally makes flying exciting again!

This is what happens when the MBAs take over and 'optimize'. Per chatgpt:

The shift in Boeing's management culture, with a greater emphasis on cost efficiency and financial metrics, is often cited as having begun in the late 1990s, particularly after the merger with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. This shift saw an increased influence of business executives and a relative decrease in the influence of engineers in decision-making processes. Key Boeing aircraft designed and developed after this period include:

Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Boeing 737 MAX
Boeing 777X

ChatGPT is not reliable enough to be worth citing. "Per ChatGPT" may as well be "per some bloke down the pub".

This is commonly known information

My least favorite thing about these tools is that they are great at providing information that people don’t feel the need to look at critically.

“ChatGPT generated this, and it pretty much lines up with what I already thought, so it’s good to copy and paste” is not great for making conversations better.

Especially since GPT is designed to create "convincing" text. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.
