- This could be bad. Latest example in a long series:

(yet another thing I warned the Senate about in 2023)
NEW: An AI-assisted intel report sent the military scrambling to intercept a Chinese ship in the Middle East it believed was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
It turned out to be a hallucination. And it “almost started a war.” https://t.co/xXZHEE64M6
