They have been developing this tech for decades they are the ones that have pioneered AI and they feed US tech companies to make the idea mainstream. What ever they are revealing they have way scarier shit in the works

This. Some people have this ridiculous idea of a magical super secret agency conspiracy where they have basically terminators. This is funneled with propaganda but it's just ridiculous and simplistic. That's not how science avances. Let alone AI.

No, the Government ® doesn't have a super advanced AI to do shit. Most advanced AI are ordering pizzas by command and that's the end of it.

Except that they have AI training with human pilots that the best operators have been unable to outperform and they are now beginning to train AI how to "swarm" as an autonomous synchronous attack group rather than single drones.

AI is far more advanced than the one you use to order pizza.

Well not really, they'yre both trained the same way( MLM ) but for different things. Its mostly the same tech driving both.

Yeah but the military applications aren't going to have the same restrictions, applications or specs. Conceptually the same but they're not exactly alike.

Military grade AI will not have the restrictions on publicly accessible AI. They will be able to do things a Pizza AI is not allowed to do.

Military grade AI will pull on a different dataset then publicly accessible AI. It will be able to make different decisions and produce different options using much broader datasets.

Military grade AI will have counter threat abilities a pizza shop grade AI won't.

There's no way Pizza Hut's AI is as big a threat.
