This was not AI’s fault.

That was sheer incompetence up to the very top levels of the US army.

Since when does the US care about the truth before going to war?

The 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, that got us into Vietnam, was based on false reports.

In 2002, The 2nd Iraq War was based on fabricated intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein was allied with al Qaeda and had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

In 2026, we bombed Iran on fabricated intelligence reports that Iran was six months (or whatever) away from producing a nuclear bomb.

The United States military runs on lies. They're gonna love AI.

In true MAGA lEAdeRsHiP fashion...

Fucking stupid as fuck.

But the episode underscores the profound risks of using this powerful, new and relatively poorly understood technology for targeting in the middle of a war.

Not really powerful, not that new, well understood in academia. It's just severely misused by people that choose to remain dumb about the tools at their employ. Magical thinking at its finest.

Artificial Intelligence is dangerous, and using it can lead to disastrous results, when done so recklessly. The United States of America need to be very cautious when using such powerful technology in the future.
