https://www.independent.co.uk/life-styl ... 81346.htmlAn AI pilot has defeated a US Air Force pilot in a virtual F-16 dogfight in a "coming of age" moment for artificial intelligence.
The US military's AlphaDogfight Trials was organised by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) - a secretive branch of the US Department of Defense responsible for the development of futuristic technologies.
It sought to demonstrate the "feasibility of developing effective, intelligent autonomous agents capable of defeating adversary aircraft in a dogfight."
The winning AI pilot, developed by Heron Systems, defeated other AI adversaries before going on to beat a human pilot wearing a VR helmet by a score of 5 - 0 in the final.
"We've gotten an opportunity to watch AI come of age [against] a very credible adversary in the human pilot," said Col. Dan Javorsek, program manager in Darpa's Strategic Technology Office.

I am apt to agree Boac. A decent English sort in a decent British aircraft like the Lightning and the silicon minion would have cried "run away, run away!"

Even the Harrier wiped the arses of the F-15s.

This is the start of the story where everyone is using AI and there's stalemate because they can all figure out each other's moves, then someone throws in a hotshot human pilot who uses unpredictable tactics and beats the crap out of the enemy.

Re: AI pilot bests human F-16 pilot
Or alternatively some complete duffer of a pilot who uses such inane tactics, which are also unpredictable, that they cause the AI algorithm to fail!
