USAF Just Testing AI Piloted F-16 Fighter Jet That Can Dogfight

imagine you have dreamed to be a fighter pilot since child hood

Q-9 Predator drone (which is far smaller and less complex) has more service and maintenance hours than F-35A Lightning II piloted by human.

It costs less per flight hour, but breaks down more often, making its maintenance costs the same or bigger than that of the F-35.

It malfunctions more frequently than manned fighter.


An unmanned fighter jet retail price?


Maintenance costs over time?

Exorbitant.

Simulate deez nutz

An AI "pilot" can think faster, process much more information, does not get tired, can survive much higher g-forces, does not fear death, and is so much faster and cheaper to train than a human pilot. Why use a human pilot?

AI Weaponized Military?
NOT GOOD! EVER WATCH THE TERMINATOR?

From what I understood, every single kill was head on. Normally that's not how you shoot down an aircraft but, being AI, there is no fear.

Yes, let's put bombs on an F-16 and give it AI brains and pray that it doesn't bomb us !

With the quick way computers are being hacked; what degree of compromised catastrophe will it take before accountability is accepted.

These are the F-16s the US should be sending to Ukraine.

"Just Press 'Fly'". It would save them 4 months of conversion training.

I don't like AI
What happens when AI turns on us?

Just wait till it downloads the Terminator movies
