    If it stops ships that are actually fine, then it also lets ships go that are totally not fine. Why use it?

    AI is not going to kill us because they took control of nuclear weapons and fire them but because they going to tell the president that fire the Nukes is going to guarantee their reelection.

      Exactly. Previously it would be some rich right wing lunatic trying to get the president to fire the nukes, now-a-days the rich right wing lunatic builds a machine to do it.

    The US narrowly avoided boarding a Chinese ship based on an “entirely false” US intelligence report generated with the help of AI tools, according to a CNN report.

    That erroneous intelligence, submitted by a US Special Operations Command analyst, suggested the Chinese ship was transporting nuclear arms program components through the Middle East, according to “four sources familiar with the episode” cited by CNN. The US military was preparing to intercept and board the ship, with air support, before officials discovered a chatbot used in generating the report had “inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying.”
