I don't think all that **** qualifies as AI .Vegas » 23 Jun 2022, 10:45 am » wrote: ↑ We already have drones that do that. Any weapon that AI can be turned into isn't new. There are autonomous vehicles and machinery in the military now. At the end of the day, they are all under a human's command.
Not at this point, anyway !
They're basically radio-controlled machines . . . a human is sitting in front of a screen making the decision for the drone or whatever to fire or not.
And in all honesty . . . I don't think AI is meant for those tasks !
IMHO AI is meant to control, indoctrinate and direct humans' behaviour . . . within the boundaries of a country.
Be it America, China, Russia . . . whatever.

And at this stage, in a shooting war, we can only dream for these AI soldiers to have an autonomy of more than 50 miles . . . and that would include return-to-base !
And if their weapons are, say, lasers . . . that would reduce their autonomy considerably !
And they'd need to be waterproof as well !
A spell of rain . . . or a hose would short-circuit them !
Why, they can't even make a tiny device like a cell phone waterproof for more than an half hour and at 3
feet deep (only upscale ones) !
My wife has 2 iPhones that claim they can do that . . .
Never tried, though !
Nah . . . not gonna happen !
