What do you mean "when"? AI is used in war all the time.

If war only involves robots and and AI, at least no humans will be killed …right?

Edit; I thought that it was obvious I was being sarcastic.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, maybe only some at the beginning, but then there will be no more to kill.

The machine war will rage eternal

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 11 months ago

Not if we block out the sun. And then wait for the chosen one to make peace with the robots...

Until the ai learns tracking innocent people hostage is a good way to force your opponent into submission. Wars haven't been known to be clean

Who said anything about only?

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 5 points 11 months ago

You mean our smarter betters aren’t doing this so humans don’t have to die in their shitty wars?

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Google "the gospel Gaza "

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

every conflict will primarily of AI-driven systems killing civilians, we have yet to have ai versus ai

[–] T156@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

E-War probably comes close, though.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

The IDF uses AI already to choose bombing targets to shrug responsibility.

[–] manucode 13 points 11 months ago

I hope the poster in the screenshot was born in Austria in 1988.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Google "the gospel Israel"

it's not when, or if, it's already a thing

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago

fully evil, but "Habsora" is amazing taste in naming an evil ai

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

What the fuck

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 7 points 11 months ago

Palantir pre-emptive drone strike

I think there was a story I read, years ago, about a computer being used to identify and destroy AA platforms in a simulated war exercise. Back then (back in my day) it wasn't called AI, it was a machine learning program. But anyway, the computer was scored based on how many targets it successfully destroyed. However, it could only engage targets when a clear to fire authorization was given by a human.
Eventually then endeavor was abandoned because the computer figured out it was humans preventing it from getting a higher score. So, mathematically it made sense for the machine to kill its handlers so as to grant itself fire-at-will capabilities.
It may have been a sci-fi piece and not a real event. It becomes more and more difficult to tell now a days.

Lmao thought it said warframe, and was like these comments don't make sense.... 🤦‍♀️

I can't wait for AI to destroy humanity

[–] match@pawb.social 9 points 11 months ago

humanity will be destroying humanity, ai is just a tool that will be used in the process
