US Army should ditch tanks for AI drones

The current HN Title* badly misrepresents the article:

> US Army should ditch tanks for AI drones, says Eric Schmidt

> And what do you know, Google's former CEO just so happens to have a commercial solution

> Former Google chief Eric Schmidt thinks the US Army should expunge "useless" tanks and replace them with AI-powered drones instead.

> Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative in Saudi Arabia this week, he said: "I read somewhere that the US had thousands and thousands of tanks stored somewhere," adding, "Give them away. Buy a drone instead."

> Did we mention that Schmidt is the founder of a startup called White Stork that aims to develop AI-driven attack drones? ...

Even if you're unfamiliar with The Register, they are obviously distancing themselves from Schmidt's words, and mocking his objectivity. Later in the article, they quote an actual military expert - who does not agree with Schmidt.

*That HN Title is "US Army should ditch tanks for AI drones"

Drones cannot take and hold land.
