No, you simplify it to the point of being not true. Furrbies had the delay built in that triger more complex senteces with time. Which sparked the debate about their learning capabilities. Which sparked NSA policy - which you make sound like it was reasonable. It was clearly not. If they did a basic reaserch it would uncover that the technology is not there.

And with AI weapons you miss forest for a tree.

AI doomsday PR stories are abuot terminator level of singularity. AGI + self-replication and complete autonomy.

Military people buying shitty language models and weapons with low-lewel authinomy that in nowhere near that, is obviously a problem. The same way that would entrusting those to kids or Magic 8-balls be. But it is not the proof it wasn't just PR. It's the proof that it worked.

"Stories about destroing the moon are not real? Are you crazy? Didn't you see the new crosbows they bought? Bolts fly so much higher then rocks we used to throw!!! You are in denial, my friend"
