The United States’ arrogance, not AI, was about to start a war with China!
Don’t blame the AI for that! Even if it were true, the Americans were ready to start a war with China because they didn’t like what a Chinese vessel was carrying?! No fucking kidding me?!
CNN: Exclusive: US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report, sources say:
The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.
CNN’s YouTube video, with its so-called analysis, is inept, and so are most of the comments. It’s not the AI that could have started a war, but arrogant, stupid, imbecile people! America is no better than Russia!
