The current "state" in the US is absolutely stupid enough to do something like that. The only solace I have is that most nuclear defense systems are intentionally low-tech — both for reliability and for security. I'm pretty sure the only thing stopping the current regime from plugging ChatGPT into the nuclear triad is that it's structurally impossible to plug anything into it.
The government is, but there are quite a few more people involved in the process. Which make it very unlikely for something to happen.
Also the AI companies themselves know very well it would be an awful idea, no matter what their marketing says. Trump would evidently be stupid enough, but the people who actually would work on the new system wouldn't all be. And we've seen in history that even loyal soldiers refuse to destroy the world when put on the spot with systems already working, in this case it would be a long process of many people working on a system everyone knows "can make mistakes". No way that system would end up being finished.
