The U.S Military is becoming obsessed with AI, and it’s pissing me off.

I don’t want to ruin my career or anything, but I’ll say I work for a branch of the military, full time, and AI is seeping its way into everything. Every single time there is a board (job interview), we ask how people use AI in their job, when it has absolutely nothing to do with the job. Generals have sent emails saying AI should be a daily part of our working lives, and to start incorporating it into our routines. It’s absolutely absurd.

The U.S military is infamous for its outdated, slow to update policies but the second it helped some 70 year old with an excel formula, suddenly it’s a must for every single person to start using. I don’t see it replacing any jobs in the military quite yet, but damn has it made people lazier and fake. Coworkers use it to make their emails sound less harsh, write them entirely, or even just pull all their information from if they don’t know the answer. Cool, that’s why it’s there, but it makes me worried if the people running the military are quite literally blindly trusting whatever it says. I’ve double checked a lot of what people pull from it, and it’s usually an outdated regulation, or pulls from something else entirely. There are tens of thousands of regulations, and it will pick the wrong one 90% of the time.

Not sure if it’s well known on this sub, but the U.S government is fully behind AI, and don’t be surprised if what you see from congress, was completely written by AI. Sorry if this is slop, and ranty. Just can’t sleep and found this sub.
