If militaries are gonna use AI drones instead of real soldiers, we should put out some AI civilians for them to kill instead of real ones.

Honestly, I think we should bring back leaders dueling to determine victory.

[-]

StarChild413@reddit

willing to risk certain known-for-athletic-prowess foreign leaders taking over your country just so you can watch one you might hate die in a humiliating way?

[-]

Gunbunnyulz@reddit

Frankly, if our leadership spent more time at the gym and less time figuring out ways to squeeze more taxes out of us, I think everyone wins.

Fireproofspider@reddit

If you are being attacked, would you submit to the invader because they've destroyed your AI troops and resources?

[-]

ApprehensiveVirus217@reddit

There’s a Star Trek episode about this. Spoiler: they didn’t.

[-]

ApprehensiveVirus217@reddit

‘A Taste of Armageddon’

The Original Series 1.23

LazyLich@reddit

Just skip the irl bs all together and solve world conflicts with DOTA tournaments

[-]

wouldn't it either be more thematic to do so with Overwatch (because of the diverse sets of characters and idealistic future vision) or League Of Legends (because back when the lore was such that the matches existed within it that was their Watsonian purpose and why playable characters are called "champions" (they were champions of their faction or kingdom or what-have-you and fought each other instead of those groups/places engaging in full-on war))

[-]

LightModeIsTheBest@reddit

Idk if that league lore makes sense. Why would Annie the little 9 year old orphan girl be representing a faction? Ik bits of the summoner lore but the faction stuff sounds off.

[-]

PoisonPeddler@reddit

Of course. No point in being a sore loser.

[-]

YouCannotTheBox@reddit

If you thought they might proceed to the real ones.

Skip the whole war thing and just solve conflicts with Battlefield 6 competitions.

Sometimes they do something like this. They tell us that they are going to fire some rockets at the base and we get the people out of there. Then they destroy some empty building so they can save face.

Logical conclusion is that star trek (I think) world where war is fought by computers, and if the computers determined that you die, then you report to the place to be painlessly annihilated (to give a real cost to the war)

[-]

StarChild413@reddit

except why would we need the cost as deterrent and real death if the war's only fought by computers

[-]

NotEncyclopedia@reddit

The wars should be fought in world of Warcraft, the winner is the winner in real life.

Under developed countries can fight in age of empires if needed.

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

But would any country honor a loss in that if it meant their sovereignty?

[-]

H4llifax@reddit

How about we just respect each other's borders and rights.

[-]

AlSi10Mg_Enjoyer@reddit

Great idea. Let’s all sit down and decide what those are!

Oh no

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

Ha, that's a whole other discussion. We're talking about ways to resolve disputes.

When it's something people are willing to fight and die for, no.arbitrary game will change that.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

Exactly, they should just die instead

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

We use violence specifically because our enemies fear death.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

Youre right, it's much better to let them kill you and your children over it.

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

You don't let them, you kill their children first so they don't.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

God Bless our neighbors childrens corpses

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

Better theirs than ours.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

Ah yes, the mindset of psychopaths.

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

Of people who like surviving.

Would you let somebody kill you to avoid killing them? That's called suicidal empathy.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

We're talking about kids and civilians

No amount of dead kids will make anything right

Sorry to burst your bubble

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

The above commenter is suggesting people submit to a loss of sovereignty and potentially being enslaved and executed because their leader lost in a video game.

No people will do that. They will fight for their lives and freedom. That's why wars exist. People don't fight wars over things they'd be willing to gamble on an arbitrary game.

If their kids are in danger of being killed, they'd rather kill yours than let that happen. It's a matter of self preservation.

[-]

Mutant_Llama1@reddit

You and me, rock paper scissors, right now, if I win I get all of your money and be my slave forever.

You willing to agree to that? No.

If I threaten to kill you unless you do that, I guarantee you'd be more generous.

That's why people get randomly mugged instead of getting randomly rock paper scissored.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

Crazy idea: Instead of mugging people on the street we should just rock paper scissors them

[-]

LazyLich@reddit

Good point... it'll be an opt in program, where for each member nation, 10 out of 11 of the most powerful figures must have an explosive collar on at all times. Not to mention sanctions and blah blah blah.

Have all the world leaders jump on a server and play battlefield 6 over it.

The trash talk through interpreters alone would be worth it

[-]

mrpenchant@reddit

Countries with no age minimum for the top job could conquer the world with this conflict resolution. Boomers would be an even bigger liability, unable to defend their country in battlefield 6.

[-]

Apprehensive_Dog1526@reddit

The e sports tournaments would get an instant boost in viewership if the tournament was for control of crimea

[-]

jnmtx@reddit

right so to the AI it is real but all the fighting takes place in a virtual world, a simulation like the Matrix.

[-]

Skipp_To_My_Lou@reddit

As was shown in the documentary Tron, and the slightly later documentary series Reboot.

[-]

NotEncyclopedia@reddit

So basically a game, like world of Warcraft.

You joke, but that's going to happen.

Server farms will be considered critical infrastructure.

[-]

One_Recover_673@reddit

You’ve just described a cyberattack technique

[-]

RegularBasicStranger@reddit

If militaries are gonna use AI drones instead of real soldiers, we should put out some AI civilians for them to kill instead of real ones.

Those just sound like using decoys thus AI drones will be trained to ignore them.

[-]

Dedli@reddit (OP)

Oh. I guess youre right. Maybe we should use civilians for the decoys so they stop getting killed!

[-]

RegularBasicStranger@reddit

Maybe we should use real civilians as the decoys so they stop getting killed!

Probably if real people are used and the AI drone is ordered to kill everything that moves in that area, then the AI drone would recognise them as people and not just decoys so they would still be shot.

So it depends on what the AI drone is ordered to do and how much features needed to be matched before a threat is recognised.

InternationalCut2647@reddit
