US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report, sources say

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/exclusive-us-military-had-close-165550497.html

An AI-assisted intel report, circulated across the US military during the Iran war, nearly triggered an operation but was false, sources say.

This happened in the spring, who knows what’s happening now.

Surely if we keep ignoring all the warnings this will all sort itself out, right?

In a way, yes.

Hopefully it's in a way that get military members killed not regular civilians. Remember peeps, US military members volunteer to be cannon fodder. NOBODY FORCED THEM TO VOLUNTEER

For certain definitions of sorting itself out that's absolutely true.

This happened due to thousands of qualified personnel being cut out of the decision making loops.

So while it’s an AI issue, it’s really not.

The current thieves and thugs running America would have done equally bad things if AI were not there.

They make money by removing witnesses to various illegal activities; and that means important decisions are made by rather stupid people who do not understand much, who would use astrology instead, if not for AI

The unfortunate side effect is people dying, unnecessarily. Of course, the institutions they undermine are part of the reason for stability and growth, so they are undermining American economic superiority. This will screw the wealthy more than the poor in the long run.

It will really screw them if it gets so bad that we all fight back. It's pretty much a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face, but doing so to seek short term profit.

Why would you use AI for this?

Because the literal children tasked with firing everyone and implementing AI have done so.

I'm sure after killing a bunch of school children, they'll stop now, right? Right...
