Featured AI Claims "Flawless Victory" Going Undefeated In Digital Dogfight With Human Fighter Pilot

Plane suffers G forces. Does that make a difference?

Plane can uphold G forces greater than what the pilot can for a time.
But this 'victory' doesn't really prove anything because the AI had been placed in an unrealistic scenario.

Ex-french Rafale pilot 'Ate' talks about the implication of this. Watch from 10:45

Exactly. But the one area where these AI systems, of all types, won't be able to overtake humans is.... Instinct.

True, however, much of that would be negated by the AI's infinitely better capability of probability calculations and expected profit comparisons. The dog fight would be reduced to a complex game theory diagram. The bottleneck I see, for now, is the reliability of sensory inputs for the AI. Won't be for too long.

Instinct.

but what about data vs instinct? more data to make decisions or rely on luck(instinct)

The role of well-trained pilots is unlikely to diminish in aerial engagements and operations anytime soon but these technological advances are expected to enable development of incredibly sophisticated and dangerous UAVs in the coming years which would be capable of taking on manned platforms on their own and prevail.

The emerging dynamic was depicted in a movie some years ago:

If there is ever a time when China decides to give DF-21 and DF-26 missiles to Pakistan, or Alternatively, Pakistan makes its own, then it will be game over for the whole of Indian Navy.

If there is ever a time when China decides to give DF-21 and DF-26 missiles to Pakistan, or Alternatively, Pakistan makes its own, then it will be game over for the whole of Indian Navy.

Why dont we buy them from China then? Even Saudi Arabia has the DF-21.

good hopefully casualties in wars goes down much further
