Sitting on a plane at 6:00pm. It’s snowing hard outside IAD. Plane is due to take off at 6:20 and all looks normal. I just got a text telling me the flight is leaving 2 hours late and departing at 8:00pm. Little tag line at the bottom of the text says “powered by GenAI”

It’s ridiculous because the weather can’t possibly be BETTER 2 hours from now. If we don’t take off soon, we aren’t taking off today.

It’s offering to let me rebook. I am sitting on the plane with my seatbelt fastened. I cannot actually rebook.

3 minutes later, I get a message saying we are leaving 8 minutes late at 6:28. The “powered by GenAI” is conspicuously absent from that update.
