Hey ChatGPT, shut up about the A-10 and tell me about that mobility scooter technical! (lemmy.world)

image caption: a screen capture of a Facebook post consisting of an AI-generated summary of the Wikipedia page about the A-10, and a bad AI image of a fllightline dominated by misproportioned A-10 being serviced exclusively by M4-weilding infantrymen -- including, notably, one that appears to be mounted to a Hoveround.

Does the array of ground targets that an A-10 hits start at zero or one?

[–] Thrashy 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

All I know is that targets[0] returns "FV107 Scimitar" for some reason, and anytime I try to purge that entry from the array it throws an error.

The aircraft also have armament control panels. and infrared and electronic countermeasures to handle surface-to-air-threats, both missile and anti aircraft artillery.

I love this: They talk about armament control panels like they're ERA and not a tablet that let's you switch between guns and bombs. They also talk about flairs and chaff like a middle-schooler trying to pad an essay.

Wait till they find out about the RWR. This thing is invincible!

Turn back, you're outmatched.

Unless they're British, then it's fine.

I’m curious about whether the number of A-10s left in operational service exceeds the number depicted by the AI tool.
