Is there functionally anything different had they done the same thing without AI?
Its not like this is the first time the US bombed a bunch of civilians. I could easily see this headline slip into a DNC candidate promise to ban AI for military use as soem sort of “improvement”.
Replying to @mlg@lemmy.world
Yes and no. Obviously carelessness can be a problem regardless of whether you use AI. But banning a tool that is known to hallucinate from being involved in life and death decisions is an improvement, even if it does not solve everything.

Humans are known to hallucinate – this is about humans knowingly causing death and destruction to stay out of prison for raping children.

Both the article and this comment chain are about what caused the missle strike on a school, not what caused the wider war. Commenting edgy off-topic political statements is neither smart nor helping anyone. It’s just obnoxious. Please either stick to the topic or refrain from commenting here. Thank you.
