The use of AI in the Ukrainian conflict had not occured to me yet you are no doubt correct. What had surprised me about the conflict is how the new air defences (probably powered a great deal by AI as you suggest) has turned the battlefield into something reminiscient of WWI... trench warfare. Perhaps when the dust settles and the staggering human cost to the new warfare is exposed it may give all involved a reminder of the devastating cost and nature of trench/artillery warfare so that we might be more reluctant to follow that route.

On a more positive note, my hope is that this comment finds you well and that peace shall be achieved in Ukraine at the earliest.
