I used the same article headline in the post subject. Not sure I like it but hey ho.
Interesting I think it shows how the constant release of AI tools etc is a little bit like the Wild West at the moment. People can create anything with a few clicks yet years ago "photoshopping" had a clear skill level to it. So it's easier than ever to fool people, I'm not sure how you stop people using these tools either or how you just removing them from the market, after all they are out there now.
I think if anything it's a good example that "WW3" isn't what people think it will be as everyone compares the next war to the previous one.
Shows how tools and weapons have changed and that countries are falling far behind it's lessons and not understanding while there will be a need for traditional combat (boots on ground) often first strikes are something that is totally different to what was known as the norm previously.
