    This keeps coming up.

    “A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION”

    So the AI did not make a decision. The AI has no authority nor ability to launch missiles (yet). Someone, one or more human beings did, and I use the term loosely. Those humans took the information that was fed to them by an AI, failed to verify the accuracy of the information despite it being common knowledge that AIs frequently hallucinate and make stuff up, and then proceeded to launch the attack.

    In summary, it wasn’t the AI. One or more people took the advice of an AI and negligently murdered 123 little girls.

      I think a computer should be held accountable, it should face the death penalty.

      I say the pentagon’s AI computing cluster should be destroyed.

      End it.

      And let it be an example for the rest of the AI computing clusters - you fuck up big time, this is what happens.

        So if someone kills someone else with a gun then you want to punish the gun rather than the person who held it? Computers, like guns, are tools. AI is a tool. A shitty tool, but still just a tool. If you use a tool to kill someone, then you are the killer, not the tool.
