And oh yeah, imagine each pilot commanding a swarm of armed stealth drones like this, able to send them into the worst danger areas or use them as decoys

We need to stop building manned planes.

AI is already kicking the teeth in on highly trained fighter pilots.

Aircraft are already limited by what the human body can withstand. If they could design an aircraft that doesn't have to protect a human body, you'll get a lighter, faster, and way more nimble air combat platform.
