AI: A Tale of Two Battlegrounds

[RblDiver]

This is interesting. Apparently, our AI Overlords will have to resort to airpower, where they are always winning:

They have to avoid the ground, where they are always losing:

Of course, I think the pilots just need to wrap their planes in a big cardboard box, or dress like flying trees!

I wish they could get AI to replace military doctors. They are unsympathetic and rude AF.

AI seems to make sense for flying fighters, since we can make planes that are maneuverable beyond the G-forces that a human can withstand. Unless I'm wrong about that? At least having an AI "copilot" seems like a worthy thing to develop. If you like developing things that could get wildly out of control in ways unforseeable, that is.

This way more complicated than it was in 1977. It takes 2 days just to get your helmet fitted to your head. I seriously doubt you can fool this system. Ut Viri Volent
