This a nice, tight statement of the big picture. This isn't new, like since LLMs were born, either. In the aviation community, and probably many other domains, there has been a running debate for decades about the pros and cons of introducing more automation into the cockpit and what still should or shouldn't be taught and practiced in training (to be able to effectively recognize and handle the edge cases where things fail). And in military aviation, this isn't just a question of safety; it's about productivity just like it is for knowledge workers. If an aircraft can fly itself most of the time, the crew can do more tactical decision-making and use more sensors and weapons. Instead of just flying their own aircraft, the crew can also control a number of unmanned aircraft with which they're teamed up.
