So... what's changed?

I'd say that the most important change is that now everybody is a beta tester, and not just a selected few.

 

That's why their use should be limited only to humans with useful brains.

Which is NOT going to happen. Even if it did, it would render them completely uneconomical to develop and run (and the jury's far from in on that score even with widespread accessibility).

And is that an improvement or a degradation?

I used to get a professionally written user's manual (multi-volume set of books, in most cases) when I would buy software. Now I get a "knowledge base" that I have to search and that is filled with "community-developed" documentation.

 

That's why their use should be limited only to humans with useful brains.

Can't make money with only useful brains.

 

Here's another poor dude who will likely find it hard to even give his house away thanks to the wonders of AI. That low frequency hum is horrible, it causes houses, rooms etc to resonate and is inescapable, hope he enjoys his 4th July.

These sites should be legislated in such a way they must pass strict noise level tests and also be situated in cold locations like Alaska, no ifs no buts - oh sorry that's "regulations", silly me, we don't have those any more.

 

Can't make money with only useful brains.

But giving hammers to babies may be costly.

This is how dumb AI is, and an increasingly gullible uneducated public trust it:



Once a certain level of mass delusion is reached, human civilization will collapse, this is worrying to put it mildly.

How is it so obvious that this is a hoax?

It is exactly the same size as existing personal, functional jet packs.

Alright I'll spell it out for you.

1. The man himself says his education was simply Gdańsk University of Technology, no dates, no subject, no degree or anything is mentioned. No work history or resume.
2.There are two websites one for the "Jetson" and the other for the "Volonaut" rather than presenting a unified corporate site with two products.
3. Neither site has an "About" page, no mention of anyone else, no teams, no history, no leadership are mentioned.
4. Each site has a pre-order page, the Volonaut is 2,000 down and the Jetson is 8,000 down.
5. The Volonaut incurs a balance on delivery of 798,00 and the Jetson 148,000, so something costing four times more needs a deposit that is four times less.
6. Lots of effort into extracting money, credit card or wire transfer all supported.
7. Dead give aways in the footage, bits of trees being passed travel along with the vehicle.
8. I can find no footage filmed independently, only footage from Jetson/Volonaut.

This is all consistent with scam, seen it before. People believe what they want to believe though, that's the biggest shock to me.

I don't know either way. And there are a lot of smart humans (involved in such tech) who, right now who are leaning toward this being legit.

My own mind tells me that real, personal, functional jet packs exist. The device shown is almost exactly the same size as one would need to package such a pack in something that looks like it does. The specs, 10 minute run time, 124 mph max speed, seem realistic. Fly-by-wire, automated flight control and dynamic stability control are mature technologies.

Are the videos real? Maybe, maybe not. Are they AI? They don't have to be. Hollywood has been doing realistic special effects long before AI.

Is this a hoax? Perhaps.

But when real money is involved, usually so are real lawyers.

Would I put my money on it? No.

But, then again, I wouldn't if it were real, either.

I'm willing to wait and see before I make up my mind. AI has nothing to do with it.

 

Would I put my money on it? No.

If you mean to buy one, agreed. I WOULD put money on it being real.

Every "report" is just a rehash of already available promotional material, I can find no credible examples of anyone owning one, yet this is what Jetson told the UK Metro newspaper in 2022:

 

Further, I would like to point out that I also develop products that, initially, never see the light-of-day outside the lab prior to me selling it using computer-generated illustrations.

Mission creep and production delays are a thing in the real world.

Just look at fusion.

 

Is this real, or AI?

No idea, I haven't spent three hours investigating it.

It didn't know it was a hoax until I did some investigating, after a couple of hours it became obvious.

And you are perfectly entitled (actually, encouraged) to make up your own mind, and I support you in that.

That doesn't mean you're right, or that the AI evaluation with which you started this line of thought is wrong.

I (and others) think there is real-world evidence that says at least that a functional prototype could exist. I don't dismiss it so easily. So, I can understand ChatGPT's assertion. I don't think this is evidence of AI drawing an incorrect conclusion. Not yet, anyway.
