APRIL FOOLS!!! From the article:
While we take the aviation industry seriously, we also believe in the importance of having a sense of humor. On April Fools’ Day, we thought it would be fun to share a lighthearted article that is not meant to be taken seriously. Please keep in mind that the information in this article is purely fictional and not based on any factual events. We hope it brings a smile to your face and provides a brief escape from the seriousness of everyday news and announcements in the industry.

Damn! Florida man, well-known from decades of mocking stories, has just redeemed himself! What quick thinking on the part of our new hero, as there had to be only seconds to act! “Florida man” now indicates a “take charge and can do” attitude!

Great job, Florida Man!

“I whipped out the app and yelled, ‘tell me how to fly a plane’,” Williams is quoted as saying in the report.

Scuse me while I whip this out!

The real question should be - how did both the pilot and copilot become incapacitated?

According to GVN Florida, John Williams, 45, was traveling back from a vacation in Puerto Rico with his wife, and two children, entered the cockpit, and took control of the plummeting aircraft with the help of the ChatGPT app on his phone. “I whipped out the app and yelled, ‘tell me how to fly a plane’,”

YIKES!

"The app starts explaining what knob to turn and what lever to pull and whatnot, and there you go '

I was immediately suspicious of satire when I read this. The issue is NOT which control to adjust, it's "WHERE IS IT". There are hundreds of knobs, switches, and controls on any airliner, and the main issue to an unfamiliar person is finding it. It can take minutes to find just one switch. Finding the right control cannot be described quickly over a phone.
