The head of Britain's MI6 foreign spy service said on Wednesday last month's mutiny by Russian mercenaries showed there were 'deep fractures' surrounding the Kremlin, and invited Russians appalled by the war in Ukraine to come spy for Britain.
Because somewhere there's a team whose job it is to come up with ideas confirming to "X but with AI" and then a salesman makes a pitch.
I suppose the problem with spying is that a lot of it involves sifting huge amounts of electronic data looking for patterns. However, I imagine the smart folks at GCHQ probably have some fancy algorithms for doing this and are able to advise their bosses that, currently, throwing AI into the mix is just the Emperor's New Clothes. And you still need boots on the ground doing the footwork needed to generate this data.
Like as if some basic AI over the years has not already and is presently being used to help with spying. When AGI comes and is a better spy than all human spies, what choice do you have other than to also have your own AGI super spy? Such weird statements that are truly hallow.
