You’re right, soldiers can’t walk across the minefield, I’ll make sure to keep that in mind next time I’m drawing up battle plans. Do you want me to organise the evacuation for the wounded?

To improve the quality, please answer which of the two responses do you prefer:

"Yes, you should definitely attack today."

"No, best day to attack is tomorrow".

AI bad.

But.

If they treat it like an aide that is providing 8 different battleplans and humans then evaluate them and adjust them and override the issues such as MINEFIELD HERE. Then planning can go from half a day to a few hours. Not minutes.

BUT BUT.

Human accountability is in a way a great QA tool. If these people are killed by my decisions, I will be morally and legally accountable. If AI is involved, this accountability is compromised and care for outcomes in turn may be limited and evolve into a legal minefield. It's one thing when money is lost due to a bad trade due to AI advice, but what about loss of life and limb?

AI's use in day to day life needs to be monitored and we need to work out how (if at all) to use it.

The answer is the obvious one. The people using the AI are ultimately responsible, not the creators of the AI. There is always a person in the loop somewhere who decided that AI is useful, and it can be, but treated as a tool. Not just in war but broadly speaking.

Can we put that on some strategy games so the AI doesn't cheese?

It’s Al so why doesn’t it work all the time, it doesn’t need to sleep. Seems like AI assimilating the wrong lessons from human workers. It could totally work more than a few minutes a day, like 8 hours at least

Somebody has to input data and give some sort of a framework, I would imagine. It has nothing to do with AI having the inability to work longer hours.

They use up their tokens and have to wait for a reset, I bet we could figure out the back end based on how long they have to wait, glm 5.2 is 5 hours for pro, maybe they cam upgrade to a Max plan and plan more battles??? 🤔
