US completes first dogfight between AI-controlled F-16 and human pilot 

There are three ace combat games about why this is a bad idea.

Now, it just needs: Your clothes, Your boots, And your motorcycle.

Can't wait for Skynet to take over this F-16

Now if they can just get my printer to work...

Skynet has noted this day in the historical files.

"welcome aboard this trans Atlantic flight, your pilot and copilot for the flight today is skynet"

Not allowing the F-16 to touch down before cutting the video clip was criminal. Now I'm going to be unfulfilled all day long. Thanks a lot!

Without a human pilot onboard high performance aircraft can make turns with higher G load.

“The machines decided our fate in a millisecond.” - - - Kyle Reese

Science fiction has taught us that this doesn't end well for humans 😮

Imagine whole airbase of autonomous F-35, F-22 and B-2 went rogue and attack friendly units and civilians…..

Can't wait for Top Gun/ Stealth Crossover

Ace combat 7: Skies unknown flashbacks

It was said at least ten years ago, that the last generation of fighter pilots has already been born. The human is the biggest limiting factor in combat maneuvers as the jets can withstand much higher g forces than humans can.

Called Vista? I would not worry about it becoming like ace combat with a name like that. As an IT admin, they have summoned the Microsoft Vista curse on that one.

Very complex and deep “understanding” of the aircraft’s limits. Prediction and reaction procedures for maneuvering, exponentially higher rate of response calculations and situational analysis, and zero emotion. Victory or defeat is simply true or false. It’s a no brainer that the AI will eventually be the go to in aerial combat.

Probably, this could be the main plot of "Top Gun 3": Maverick on F35 against AI foe fighters... 🤔😜🤣

"The plane knows where it is at all times, it knows this because it knows where it isnt"

The US Marines don't get a lot of visibility for their forward thinking, and they shocked everyone when they decided to dumb main battle tanks (being a former Marine myself, I thought it was the right call but most were dumbfounded). The Marines are testing the XQ-58A Valkyrie because they seem to believe that the drone is the future (they started buying small infantry level drones in 2012, so once again, the Marines were looking at the future of warfare, and Ukraine has validated their decision). This is the magic of the XQ-58. For the price of one F-35, the Marines could buy 50 XQ-58s. Drone swarms are the future and the Marines know that. The Air Force will buy a few hundred horribly expensive planes that may face thousands of autonomous drones. One of the roles of the XQ-58 will be to "take one for the team," meaning to put itself out there in front of the manned plane to draw the fire so the enemy aircraft has to reveal its position. The F-35 can easily be tricked this way too so an enemy could use similar inexpensive drones to simply swamp high tech aircraft. The future often written about in science fiction books is very close at hand.

Ah, skynet

“Put a stop to the drone production”

WALL-E is a great documentary!

Macross Plus

We will have belkan technology with this one.

There will be zero consequences for this, *I’m sure.*

Everybody over here talking about Skynet and I'm all like "Nobody gonna recognize Sharon Apple?"

Yeah but who won?

So, Arsenal Bird when?

0:39 "what operating system does it use, er..,vista" WE'RE GOING TO DIE! 😅

Man is going to make Zone Of Endless something real💀💀💀💀

AI doesn't have to contend with high-g or black out. It can perform all kind maneuvers that a human pilot can't!

A Tesla can barely drive using AI, now you have a combat jet. This is insanity at best.

Skynet: ai ✍️ controlled ✍️ f-16 ✍️

AI coming after military pilot jobs is crazy 🤖

I always loved USA technology...I am from Bangladesh..I am an electrical Engineer...we dont have so advanced technology..so when we see this advanced technology it's like my imagination in reality...My favourite teachers are British they can explain so well.

It’s Ginana be Ace Combat 7 again

I KNEW IT, BELKA WAS BEHIND THIS.

This is literally the LOKI system from the airwolf television show in the 1980s.

I wonder how realistic the test is. I remember when an a ground-to-air missle was tested. All parties knew when the test would occur, how fast the target would fly, etc.. And the target was a hopelessly outdated aircraft. Often we just try to make test successful and do not take adequate steps which might cause failure. During the Vietnam was USAF pilots realized their air-to-air missles had problems. Remember the M16 rifle when it was first introduced into combat. When a program encounters unanticipated responses it would imagine the results would be unpredictable.

How did they perform?

Why can't more people see the end of this journey?

Seems like DCS patched into the pilots super-duper VR HUD helmet thingy-dingy.

if this is what they're making public, then the top secret version must probably be at least on par with a human pilot.

The F-16's radar can only face forward, and combat maneuvering requires awareness about what's behind and to the sides. I wonder what modifications to the jet allowed 360-degree situational awareness.

They should make an real life human vs ai human fighting games, martial artists could increase their fighting skills by practicing fighting

If you take the humanity out of war, war will never end…..

This coming out just a few days after the new Atlas robot version has some kind of scary comedic timing

This is why Maverick's days are numbered

This is old news, we've had NPC's able to fly planes in games for years, now they just turned it over to real life planes

Bye bye pilots, hello terminators.

I’m never stepping on an airline that doesn’t have a human pilot on it

They didn't say HOW the AI jet performed! This is probably a bad thing... Skynet, here we come for real !!

There’s a movie called stealth detailing why this isn’t a good idea

Imagine the maneuver it could do without the fear of blacking out.

Okay but how about we dont teach AI how to dog fight 🤔

'Vista' were the managers and engineers on this project too young to know what a failure the last major software project with that name was.

Half of the comments is like fear of skynet while the other half is about Ace Combat where drones take over dogfights

AI dogfighting and human pilot drinking coffee and enjoying the view.

Dr. Daystrom and the M5 computer.

Haven't we learned anything from Terminator 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I'm waiting for that day when someone or Android says" come with me if you want to live".

No one dogfight’s at 1200mph

So...the movie "Stealth" then? Greeeeat

Starscream is alive😂

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

They called it Vista 😂😂😂

Mfs really made a game server for real life before GTA 6

Looks like their playing DCS in real life lol

Terminator once said i'll be back!

The people developing this technology do not seem to have the wisdom to comprehend the consequences of its capabilities.

The air force would rather have a Ai and skynet take over before having warrant officers again. 😂

Ummmm… Who won? How effective was it? Was the first run overall experiment a success or failure? Don’t you think these are kind of important details for the story?

Finally some competent pilots that aren't scared to bang out cobra maneuvers.

Skynet: Power, check trough bitcoin miners Skynet: Fighing power, check trough US

The days of manned military aviation are quickly coming to an end

So we have finally reached Macross Plus. AI controlled jet fighter vs traditional jet fighter. And we already have virtual idols too.

Just like in poker IA has no fear and doesn’t get tired .

Skynet 🤔

Stop stalling who won? By how much?

"Skynet begins to learn rapidly and eventually becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m., EDT, on August 29, 2027

Narrator said autonomous but never said unmanned. So which is it?

It’s not about the plane, it’s about the….ahhh….plane🤷🏻‍♂️

Underwhelming video, yet still terrifying to imagine being chased by a hunk of sentient metal that never tires and is ALWAYS on its A-Game.

Just before Robo Cop sounded like a great idea...then, afterwards it was not so good.

I use to watch how the computer reacted… and learned from the computer to beat it every time.

wow they use tacview too!

This pilot AI can only be defeated by "dumb" tactics that no one ever did.

Countries may as well play Pogs to determine territory won or lost with all the drone type equipment nowadays

It is a Skynet program

Where's Kyle Reese when you need him.

Can AI also complete my taxes by using all the possible legal loopholes ? Frankly, now THAT would be a more relevant breakthrough...

Just remember guys, 313. 😂

Am I the only one who was thinking, “Who won?”

If I learned anything at all from Ace Combat 7, this is a bad idea.

if this is what is revealed to the public imagine what they are doing in secret

I think I saw something like this a year ago. This just might be old news.

Theyve been dogfighting and beating puny humans for at least 3 years that im aware of

Even Tesla cars are NOT fully autonomous it's hard for an aircraft to be fully autonomous it's better to say it's teleoperated from the ground or has a human copilot for safety.

I hate to say it. But that "AI Pilot" is a "Slave Pilot". This is both awesome and terrifying at the same time.

Skynet .. no humans required .. we are doomed

Macross came out in 1983 and had QF-3000E Ghost Drones in 2009. What the heck took you guys so long?
