Simulating battle scenarios is absolutely hilarious, adults standing around the magic 8 ball

Simulated battle scenarios is a common component of wargaming. That doesn’t mean an LLM is the right tool for it, but it’s been a thing for a long time.

The bigger concern here is using it for intelligence assessments and target acquisition, because LLMs hallucinate a lot.

That’s fair, I only meant it to poke fun at the LLM simulating battle scenarios, I know it’s useful in general to simulate and wargame
Yeah, an LLM is not designed for those kinds of simulations. It can write you a choose-your-own adventure story, but it can’t realistically model dynamic kinetic operations with any degree of applicability.
