Is nobody going to mention this...
Anyway it's only a matter of time until AI can fly rings around humans even if we take physical advantages out of the equation. One assumes they've already got it working in simulators - in fact are there no video games featuring highly skilled AI pilots?
Seems not dissimilar to AI controlled race-car driving - that is proving a hard problem but the gap is closing.
Of course, human pilots are already entirely dependent on computers. Not just basic stuff like constrant trim microadjustments but targeting as well and presumably many other things.
