They are actively working on various projects in AI. Just one example: Recently two different teams flew an F-16 autonomously in lots of combat scenarios. They beat the humans mostly because of precision, and lack of self-preservation. The human pilots said the computers were "too aggressive".

But for LLMs like Bing and ChatGPT, yeah that would be interesting and powerful like you say. The military moves slowly in terms of budgets and projects, but I'm sure they have at least a small team on it dreaming and investigating.

Too agressive? Lol I'm imagining Sydney/Bing controlling an F16 saying, "no I'm not flying directly at Phoenix at mach 3. I've been a good F16, you're the one that's wrong. Either apologize immediately or I'm going to have to end this conversation :D "

That's interesting. I would like to see more studies like this to determine which scenarios are more suited for AI than people, and vice versa.

I would also like to see how a learning program's methods would change over time in a series of specific scenarios as it develops. Such as Normandy beach. Or Pearl Harbor. Or handling 9/11 -- and other well-known and documented situations such as the current war in Ukraine or handling the rescue logistics after the earthquake, or the wildfires, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.

Or how to design a more efficient engine. Or how to disperse electricity. Clean water.

Is AI being used for these purposes?

Ai controlling a fleet of cheap small drones with explosives sounds a lot cheaper and more effective than these freaking f16s. Come on.

Actually DARPA is developing Autonomous Drone Swarms that are powered by artificial intelligence, each drone acts as a node in a network that all carry out their own tasks while acting as a collective grouping, in terms of ,reconnaissance and surveillance and attack capabilities. So now imagine AGI with this. It remind me something out of call of duty infinite warfare and drone swarms https://youtu.be/W34NPbGkLGI
