Imagine being in NATO Command controlling all your drones with AI and a random input makes it generate a catgirl on the big main screen and crash all the bombs on friendly territory and generals are angrily demanding you explain how AI works and why this happened but you can’t.
You look through the input and it’s like “CATEGORY: GROUND RAPID RESPONSE” which some coder last month had shortened to “CAT:GRR” and passed the user interface element to the AI instead of the full text.
And years later they recover a full corpus of the lost AI training material and there was a blog in 2003 that posted a new catgirl going rawr every day for like 11 years all tagged with “cat” and “grr!”
Welcome to the future of war.
