What about the time the US carpet bombed an entire company of Canadian soldiers in iraq?

Yeah, now when your autonomous weapon systems target your own fighter jets, no one gets court martialled!

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.

Yeah, the fact that the nation’s highest military command no longer understands the difference between machine learning and an LLM is gravely concerning…

They fired all the professionals in 2025. All that’s left are the sycophants.

Simulated battle scenarios are 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.
