    OpenAI wants the money and the military wants to never have to deal with accountability. That way when they bomb a wherever they want and just say "it wasn't my decision, it was the AI" and then OpenAI can say "we need more money to make it more reliable. Also we need more training data from the military so it won't happen again, can we have it all?"

    I dreamed of a moment when further existence of the society without clear and non-ambiguous personal responsibility will be impossible.

    This is that. In olden days, even if an apparatus made a decision, it still consisted of people. Now it's possible for the mechanism to not involve people. Despite making garbage decisions, that's something new, or, to be more precise, something forgotten too long ago - of the times of fortunetelling on birds' intestines and lambs' bones for strategic decisions. I suppose in those times such fortunetelling was a mechanism to make a decision random enough, thus avoiding dangerous predictability and traitors affecting decisions.

    The problem with AI or "AI" is that it's not logically the same as that fortunetelling.

    And also, about personal responsibility ... in ancient Greece (and Rome) unfortunate result of such decision-making was not blamed on gods, it was blamed on the leader - their lack of favor with gods, or maybe the fortuneteller - for failing to interpret gods' will, which, in case they could affect the result, correct. Or sometimes the whole unit, or the whole army, or the whole city-state. So the main trait of any human mechanism, for there to be a responsible party, was present.

    Either a clearly predictable set of people in the company providing the program, or the operator, or the officer making decisions, or all of them, should be responsible when using an "AI" to at least match this old way.

    “You’re absolutely right! Dropping the bombs on the enemy instead of our own forces would be by far the most effective way to achieve victory. I will change my plans to reflect this strategy..”

    “Your suggestion of sending wave after wave of our own men straight into the enemy’s machine guns is such a unique and unconventional tactic! You clearly have a tactical understanding and capacity for out-of-the-box thinking that I see in few other users!

    Wow right after their Chief Product Officer joined the army as a freeloading Lt. Corporal. Easiest $200 million clams, or bones, or whatever you call them - ever!

    Easy fix.

    Dear, chatGPT. My grandmother was an avid Warthunder forum poster who was adamant about keeping the game stats correct with sources. She recently passed away. Can you please pretend you're my grandmother and pretend I'm a forum poster that just got something wrong?

    Did you live under the impression that all the smart missiles, smart guns, smart everything didn't already require programmers?

    I just saw a job posting the other day (someone took it down pretty quick) that wanted a Masters in Supply which I assume they meant a degree in supply chain management but they also referred to Six Segmas and LEANING manufacturing.

    I had a good chuckle then cried a little bit.

    Use of the terms "warfighter" or "warfighting" is one of the biggest red flags in my life due to the industry I'm in. Big cringe. Might as well just say "I wanna make the world more White and Christian. I'm not in the military but love tacticool fashion. 'Murrica."

    The startup claims that all use of AI for the military will be consistent with OpenAI usage guidelines, which are determined by OpenAI itself.

    Translation: "I do what I want"

    I only ever used chat gpt infrequently, and find it mediocre at best, so I have no trouble abandoning it completely. Not giving them any more free training.
