If someone says “hey, you used a coin flip to decide if a school should be annihilated”, it’s pretty easy to say “We don’t use coin flips to make targeting decisions, and would never intentionally target a school”. Unless, of course, you do and did.

This is a post about AI.

@mcnado It's also a post about shitty intelligence. NPR has a big article about how this site had not been used by the Revolutionary Guard for years and was being redeveloped as housing. So yeah, how about you look at some satellite pictures before you bomb.
@Plantwizard @mcnado You can have gathered all the intelligence in the world, if you shove it all into a deep learning transformer to make your target decisions, then you aren't using it properly, the intelligence or the "AI."
@StarkRG @mcnado I doubt anyone following McNado would give you any argument on this. My experience with Google Gemini does not make me confident that using AI is the way to go for targeting decisions. Garbage in, garbage out still applies.
@Plantwizard @mcnado it's mostly diamonds in garbage out too.
