I am definitely aware of those Push/Pull Cessna’s used as mapping/reconnaissance/Flare Dropping Bombing Targets and fire correction aircraft during the Vietnam era.
Interesting fact is that there was one mad American bastard pilot who actually armed this same aircraft with Jerry Rigged bazooka tubes on the wings…… just to break up his own boredom flying mapping patterns day after day!
That’s what they called the OV10 Bronco isn’t it? That US used in Nam and in Afghanistan fitted a couple out with all sorts of gear incl ball flir turrets and Hellfires
Yeah, the “non active/engagement” pilots were sick of being treated as simple office jockeys…… so in the usual Murican Hero style attitude, they started arming their pieces of shit Office Johnny planes into false and ineffective “assault” Aircraft
Problem was that they were simply designed/deployed as spotter/mapping/observation Aircraft that were deployed to simply fly around in circles and not attract attention from the enemy.
But NO …… these stupid wannabe pen pushers decided that they wanted to be war heroes, which actually worked against the US War Machine in deploying “stealth” Aircraft to do the simple quiet tasks that they were supposed to do
Yeeehaaa…… don’t look at me quietly doing my service, imma just gonna go outside the mission task parameters and rain hot metal down on your arses, completely in disregard of the mission to collect intelligence and guide ground force troops into an area unannounced.
In the world of military operations, these wannabe pilots were most likely responsible for many casualties in the field of combat operations
The squids absence, hath been duly noted,
He shows little appreciation, for his being promoted…
As punishment severe, for being quite late,
Let him check food for poision, and also horrible taste…!!
AI isn’t anywhere near good enough to think like that yet, thank God. ChatGPT is just a very convincing trick, unable to think more than one word ahead, and thus incapable of laying plans or even being reliably correct.
Some guy tried using an AI to help litigate a case, and it just wholesale made up imaginary precedent cases, to which the judge basically laughed him out of court.
Deep fakes aren’t there yet, either. Voices can’t be perfectly replicated, as tones and inflections and things like Bidens pauses and stammers get missed. And video is just…a fever brained nightmare, when used to make things from whole cloth.
AI is only really good for helping smooth over human made edits of existing videos.
Yeah, human brains are unfortunately wired to be a little weak to this stuff. We’re rigged up for empathy, and pattern recognition, being both a social and hunting species respectively.
So, we see something that acts human, and portrays human like emotions and uses human words, because the programmers coded it to do that, and we go “gee that is…eerily human like”. We’re at the point right before the dip into the uncanny valley, in terms of how good we’re getting at emulating human like text from AI.
