In long hindsight, it will be seen that the foremost effect of AI was to reinforce the mindset that everything is performance and nothing is real.

Phew, at least there's some relief in the dangers of AI-based military being more practical and less utopian like you'd imagine a while ago

Everyones on the same journey of discovery I guess. Application and execution will be key , with a few failures along the way, will dertermine how AI can really support the Military in planning and executing operations. The same lessons will be learnt in the public sector as well, as more and more orgasnisations look to supplement with tooling to drive revenue and reduce overheads. Interesting times..
