The article states that the AI ALPHA can already map out optimal combat tactics for 4 aircraft 250 times faster than the blink of a human eye.

Fish posted an article about this exact thing in the Science is Cool thread the other day, I read the article and have to admit... it sounds extremely impressive
That top gun Colonel went home beaten, sweaty and spent
Maybe its arrogance or hubris, but it still seems to me that nothing quite replicates a human being... as good as AI might be in a simulator, I still prefer to not only have a "man in the loop", but a man controlling/overseeing things from a high, nearby perch
The purely technical aspects, the AI matching him move for move, anticipating everything he did sounded genuinely awe inspiring... yet the battlespace is more complicated than ever, just cant help feeling that AI must ultimately be controlled by a man... or else it will control us
But ultimately you're right, like it or not... robots are the future
