AI Has Limits… But It’s Taking Over the Battlefield Anyway
AI has limits — real limits. It can’t think, can’t understand, can’t feel, and it certainly isn’t “self-aware.”
And yet… it’s rapidly becoming one of the most powerful forces on the modern battlefield.
In this explosive episode of The Ryan Files, Ryan Pelton sits down with Dr. Robert J. Marks, a leading voice in artificial intelligence, to break down what AI actually is, what it absolutely is NOT, and why militaries around the world are pushing autonomous systems deeper and deeper into warfare anyway.
We talk about:
⚡ Why AI isn’t conscious — and never will be
⚡ The myth of AI “hallucinations”
⚡ Real limitations of large language models
⚡ 10,000-drone swarms and the end of human response times
⚡ Autonomous weapons already deployed on the battlefield
⚡ The Harpy missile, the OODA loop, and real-world killer robots
⚡ Why militaries insist on “a human in the loop”… for now
⚡ The rising arms race of AI vs AI
⚡ Why the danger isn’t AI becoming too smart — but being used anyway
This is an eye-opening look at the future of warfare, the ethics behind autonomy, and the uncomfortable truth that AI doesn’t have to be perfect — or even intelligent — to change everything.
