CEO replaces pilot with AI from @mytechceo

The creator plays a tech CEO in a comedic skit who reveals to his panicked colleague that he has replaced their human pilot with a questionable AI named 'OpenClaw' to save money. The CEO defends his reckless decision by citing overspending and claiming the AI is trained on flight simulator videos, while the colleague discovers the AI device isn't even properly connected. The situation escalates as the AI malfunctions, rerouting the plane and causing severe turbulence, all while the CEO absurdly tries to maintain control and calm his terrified friend.

Transcript excerpt

I automated away a pilot. You what? Where's the pilot? Look at our rank account. We're way overspending on the jet. It's like $2,000 every time we take off. I have everything you could have automated. You thought the pilot was a good idea? Lex, I have Open Claw flying the plane. Open Claw? I downloaded a package good Better Help that has, like, four hundred hours of flights and better videos. It's not even plugged in. No. I plugged it in. I did everything correctly. It's plugged into the power, not the plane. Open Claw, plug yourself into the plane. That's not how this works. Open claw can't run autopilot? It's not running autopilot. It's running. Founder moment? Founder moment? Recalculating route to Shanghai. No. No. No. No. We need to go to Aspen. Aspen. Why are we going to Aspen? See, the price of jet fuel, you think I can afford to buy jet fuel? What is going on right now? Relax. Relax. The AI is just recalibrating. Best give it a second. Just give it a second.
