I have heard many software developers confidently tell me "pilots don't really fly the planes anymore" and, well, that's patently false but also the jetliners autopilots do handle much of the busy work during cruise, and sometimes during climb-out and approach. And they can sometimes land themselves, but not efficiently enough for a busy airport.
That would be scary, thankfully I don't think anyone would seriously consider it. But I could see other systems based on similar models being useful. Obstacle avoidance, emergency decision-making, etc. There are many places where a private solo pilot can get overwhelmed and make poor decisions or ignore important information.
