The Israeli military is using AI to provide targets for their bombs. You could argue it’s not going great, except for the fact that Israel can just deny responsibility for bombing children by saying the computer did it.

Nobody would ever actually take chatgpt and put it in control of weapons so this is basically a non story. Very real chance we will have some kind of AI weapons in the future but…not fucking chatgpt lol

I hadn’t heard about this so I did a quick web search to read up on the topic.
Holy fuck, they named their war AI “The Gospel”??!!" That’s supervillain-in-a-crappy-movie shit. How anyone can see Israel in a positive light throughout this conflict stuns me.

Imagine the headlines and hysteria if Russia did even half the shit Israel did.

But they aren’t using chatgpt or any other language model to do it. “AI” in instances like that means a system they’ve fed with some data that spits out a probability of some sort. E.g while it might take a human hours or days to scroll through satellite/drone footage of a small area to figure out the patterns where people move, a computer can crunch through it in a fraction of the time to notice that a certain building has unusual traffic to it and mark it as suspect.
And that’s where it should be handed off to humans to actually verify, but from what I’ve read, Israel doesn’t really care one bit and just attacks basically anything and everything.
While claiming the computer said to do it…EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 9 months ago
