you're assigning human traits to a computer program that is a language model that's not actually meeting the standards of artificial intelligence, it's a reward based system, you say 'what is the best build for a raiper weapon in Dark Souls', and it looks up faqs and spits out the language it expects you're looking for. it doesn't think and if it finds 12 joke posts on reddit saying something totally contradictory to how anyone would play the game, then it will give you the joke advice with no sense that that's terrible. if the military is asking it how to deal with their rival military is going to look at those key words and gather language to repeat back and if that language it find is biased, prejudice, hostile, incredibly out of date, well, it's not Intelligence, it doesn't think or understand anything, it's finding language, it's giving you that language back. and if it's looking at military documents to find that language, it's going to see bias and prejudice and hostility and a desire to engage in war for profit and it's going to regurgitate that back to them. it's horrifying the military is allowing a language model that's repeatedly been proven to magnify existing bias and prejudice if finds when looking for an answer is being allowed to process anything and is anywhere near the decision making process.
