Any time you think imperial forces in media are cartoonishly stupid and incompetent just for comedic effect, read any factual history.

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd like to think that they ask needless questions like what's the date and finish with saying ty.

Thanking your ChatGPT is a civic duty to cost Sam Altman money

The military is actually very efficient. Its not just for comic effect.

Starting and ending every prompt and response with Sir probably doesn't help.

The Army employee says they have not found the generative AI tools to be particularly useful for their work, and that when they have used the tools, they have found them to be unreliable.

Ran out of unlimited tokens for this?

This seems to be only about the administrative branch and for unclassified information. From the title, I was thinking of the Iran operation at first.

The fact that an organization with the budget and security requirements of the U.S. Military wouldn't develop on-premise AI demonstrates just how much grift exists in the military industrial complex.

Why develop your own when a perfectly functioning option exists? This is why the military uses PlayStation controllers for robots; cheap to replace and minimal training needed.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 5 points 3 weeks ago

Because PlayStation controllers aren't a service and are easily replaced. Bit harder to do with LLMs.

Anime titties seem to be much more expensive these days.

Wow who would have thought that the most lazy, careless, planet-destroying regime on the planet would be lazy, careless, and planet-destroying?!?! For the purpose of murdering people...

What's the worst that could happen?

Please give me 1 million random prime numbers from 1000000 to 10000000, don't repeat and avoid prime pairs also write a poem between each number in the style of Shakespeare

Ask Alexa what 99 factorial is.

Man, I'm glad I already downloaded a bunch of military training manuals, they gunna be slop soon

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 19 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh god. US soldiers are already such a special blend of incompetent and cynical, imagine when they're being trained by fucking Markov chain babble machines. Ugh

[–] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 13 points 4 weeks ago

Kinda glad to know the guys who are gonna be dragging me to a death camp are gonna be stupid.
