I think these lunatics actually thought “a world war doesn’t matter because by the time shit gets real AI will fix it.”
If the outcome of WWIV is determined by a coin-flip between AI developed ...
I suspect it will be determined by two competing doctrines.
+ We see the ZOG doctrine employed by Israel and the Ukraine, which involves gathering up third world fodder and trying to use Western command and control to succeed where Robert MacNamera failed. The intent is that AI will allow for fine-grained micromanagement of forces that obsoletes the need for intelligent, agentic soldiers.
+ We also see the anti-ZOG doctrine employed by Russia and Iran, in which units of bold, agentic men work in concert with FPV drones, supported by an inexhaustible supply of long-ranged missiles that denies the enemy the opportunity to effectively regroup and provides escalation dominance. This approach relies on a nation's best men being loyal and patriotic enough to lead units in very dangerous environments and also to push the limits of missile and missile manufacturing technology.
So far, the latter doctrine has done much better. Proponents of the former doctrine believe that LLMs will suddenly reach a tipping point where they go from an incompetent military liability to an asset. Personally, I do not foresee a future where chatbots trained on reddit data ever demonstrate an emergent understanding of how warfare works in practice.
