Artificial intelligence can be brutally honest and play up to stereotypical views – as Irish budget airline Ryanair found out recently.
A Twitter user asked AI to imagine what a Ryanair cabin – known for its incredibly low prices but uncomfortable seats – could look like in the distant future.
The technology imagined rows and rows of seats stacked on top of each other, to which the official Ryanair Twitter account then re-shared with a quip.
With the help of industry experts, DailyMail.com used AI photo generator Midjourney to imagine what America’s biggest airline cabins could look like by 2050.

While some of the images were overly cartoonish, they suggest that flying in the future might be a little more pleasant (depending on which airline you choose).
San Francisco-based Midjourney is a rival to OpenAI’s Dall-E, which is now integrated into its iconic ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot.
Like ChatGPT, it can be controlled by simple text prompts and generate everything from realistic photographs to paintings: it’s controlled through the Discord chat app, and available to subscribers from $10 a month.
Spirit Airlines
