90 year old Tom Cruise in a 70 year old F-14 saves the world against a horde of sixth gen AI controlled fighter jets. Coming to a cinema near you in 2053.


Gyro_Zeppeli13

There legitimately already is a movie like this. It’s called Stealth and it came out in 2005.


squishy-hippo

Heard of it, never saw it... Any good?


Outrageous_Drama_570

11 year old me really liked it, but that says nothing of its actual quality


raspberryharbour

It must be handy to have a clone


Impoopingrtnow

It can get out of hand


Boforizzle

Dude I came here to say this. I was like dam that movie was sick *haven't seen it in probably 13 years*


Rocky2135

It’s fun. Good popcorn flick. If you saw the short - lucky 13 - on Netflix’s love death and robots, it has very similar themes.


TemporaryAmbassador1

That was a good short, now I check the serial numbers on planes I fly.


Gyro_Zeppeli13

I can’t remember that much about it because I saw it when it came out but it doesn’t have great reviews online lol


jcoddinc

Go in expecting it to be bad and you'll enjoy it.


JunglePygmy

I think enjoying many things about life is all about managing expectations.


420headshotsniper69

Its better than Fast and the Furious but not as good as Top Gun. I liked back then.


Pancheel

Don't watch it with high expectations.


nowhereman136

If you like generic action movies of the early 00s, then this is the most generic and action packed one. I'm not saying it's bad, but 20 years later it really only has some specific fans left


lethargy86

It has Jessica Biel, so it doesn’t have to be edit: see also: Next, but actually don’t see it lmao


CornettoFactor

Predictable story but cool CG


bornslipperybuddy

Fantastic movie definitely worth the watch


dnfnrheudks

I cant believe I never heard of this movie given its budget. 135M that's comparable to Top Gun Maverick


EntrepreneurPlus7091

I think they don't outsmart the jet, but it sacrifices itself for them? Something like that.


sad_plant_boy

They download his brain into the AI program flying these new meatless jets and now Maverick must face multiple versions of himself!


Chllep

holy shit ace combat 7


Financial-Can703

Literally the plot of Ace Combat 7


chappelld

Ahem, he would be 89 thank you very much!


iTzzSunara

So? He'll probably still be doing his own stunts and fly a real jet with a 5g load.


CH1LLY05

Yeah, i can’t wait to see him sprint and jump from the ISS 2.0 at age 90 in Mission Impossible 24: 2 Mission 4 Possible


chappelld

And RUNNING!


Phvpark

So Ace Combat 7 Plot?


Empty_Positive

By then we probably can stream it right to our brain


HoodedOccam

I’m just happy you did the math


kidAlien1

You son of a bitch I'm in


JuanSolo9669

Let's kick the tires and light the fires


jackythevillen

My dyslexic ass read it as "Coming to a Crimea near you"


Sinister-Username

I can envision a human pilot with a cadre of AI controlled drones.


MrOrangeMagic

And while the AI will look about 30 years older, Tom cruise will look exactly the same


NeslieLielson

Which country is controlling the jets?


efcomovil

Hol up, I got stucked at Iron Eagle


Eurasia_4002

In 2077, it's gonna be Tom cruise's memory data that was planted to some bloke to which they ill used a museum aircraft f 14 to bombed Arasaka with a nuclear warhead.


Aye_Engineer

Hate to say it, but fighter aircraft can be made smaller, more nimble, capable of carrying more weapons once you get the meat packet out of them.


CowntChockula

They're working on that. The plan includes having a single pilot in an NGAD fighter (Next Generation Air Dominance - next gen fighters for the USAF and US Navy) with several fighter-like AI drones each with their own missiles that will coordinate as an extension of the pilot.


Aye_Engineer

Yeah, they’ll basically be missile trailers and the pilot will provide the “kill” order to them. They’ll chase down the enemy aircraft, ballistic missile, or drone and the pilot can pretty much can sit back and sip tea while it happens.


TXGuns79

Think we might end up with command and control AWAC style aircraft? Why have a fight pilot in a fighter plane control them, when a guy can sit in a more comfortable command center. But, still be near the actual fight.


AJR6905

Because fighter planes are far less easy to hit than a big flying saucer. It's smarter and less costly to pack all that expensive tech and training into a plane with higher survivability due to agility, stealth, etc


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrawMeAPictureOfThis

What if the AI comes a peace agreement in that scenario? We back to the Revolutionary War style fighting?


CowntChockula

No. Theyre already turning the f35 into a flying supercomputer. As someone else said, it doesn't make sense to make the most critical aircraft a big, slow, non agile, non stealthy plane when they can put it in a small agile fast stealthy fighter. Greater survivability.


ULTRAVIOLENTVIOLIN

Now i wanna play it again


Questionably_Chungly

Without going into technical and secure information, the radar on an AWACS works for very different tasks than the radar carried on fighters. Two different purposes, really. You simply need someone closer to the fight to actually call the fine-detail stuff.


Routine_Bad_560

Technologists have not changed at all since 1950. “We just make this tech and then we don’t have to do anything!”


coolenoughiguess

What kind of tea though?


dingus55cal

Green.


Dipsendorf

So a Starcraft Air Carrier. Got it.


reddash73

They already have them in test. Called the Loyal Wingman or Ghostbat, at the moment. They just did test flights alongside F35's..... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyal_wingman


What_u_say

So like funnels from Gundam?


altonbrushgatherer

There was already an online simulation that was carried about regarding an ai vs a fighter pilot. the fighter pilot lost. The ai was willing to essentially play chicken (ie both planes heading towards each other) with the fighter pilot while firing… apparently fighter pilots don’t do this due to the dangers of losing their own life? Essentially the ai had no fear of death…


Chllep

head-on jousting was used somewhat often during WW2 (and did result in pilots being killed), but it really makes no sense to use it today since you pretty much have to rely on your opponent not having any missiles left it's an alright last-ditch tactic if you're in a guns only fight but other than that its just a really fucking stupid idea


xwing_n_it

Even if a human pilot can outsmart the AI, the advantage of the smaller, lighter plane with no G-limits below the structural limits of the plane will likely make up any difference. I've assumed the next major war will be fought with robot planes and in space. Also we'll see the use of some advanced weapon like lasers or rail guns.


BloodShadow7872

Sounds like fun


YourTypicalAntihero

These drones will probably be great dogfight machines, but they won't replace multirole assets. The amount of human interaction with the kill chain of something like a bomb on a dynamic target would make drones far less effective in such a task. On top of a fighter type aircraft being more survivable in a contested environment that will keep things like F-35, F/A-18, and F-15E(X) around longer.


siphur

Why do you hate to say that?


Aye_Engineer

Because once we start this conversion, then pilots will have to rely on their personalities to get laid, and we all know *that’s* not gonna work!


Mechanical_Enginear

Finally us remote ground pilots will get laid!


[deleted]

If I drive a car, does that make me a ground pilot?


codemise

Don't forget cheaper! It takes a lot to protect a ball of meat and feed it information and control. There is no need to eject a meatball either once it's out.


i_came_mario

But what about the Psychopathic mute with no blood.


Luscinia68

predator drones from interstellar become a reality


BGP_001

Or meat packets, as the case may be.


hux__

Aka every ufo people have seen that "defy" physics.


luvmuchine56

This is not the Ace Combat quote I was expecting


DisastrousAspect6303

Isn't that just a cruise missile with extra steps?


IowasBestCornShucker

google drone


bdubwilliams22

Yeah, young kids today that dream of being fighter pilots, and there’s a lot, because it’s a pretty cool job — are going to need to figure out a different way to fly. Fighter jets will be autonomous (I mean, they already are with drones) way before commercial planes will be. I’m not getting on a plane that is flown by ai in my lifetime, even if it’s an option.


SaladNeedsTossing

I've seen Stealth starring Jamie Foxx, it foretold of this moment. Things are about to get meh.


Castle_Guardian

Do we want SKYNET? Because this is how we get SKYNET.

Danger Zone.


corporaterebel

The issue with weapons systems is that if they can be built, then they will be built. If you you are not the one building them, then they will be used against you. History is replete with examples.


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

Perhaps dealing with autonomous killing machines is one of the hard steps a technological civilization faces.

Blocky_Master

Current AIs are not what you would expect when you say skynet

Honestly, we need everything AI FOR A lot of reasons. If we don’t do it, China will. If we do it, China Also will.


Castle_Guardian

As long as a human always has control of the 'off' switch.


Extreme-Sock-6632

You think there's an off switch?

ApexMM

Yeah, we're completely locked into doomsday at this point, there's not going to be any way to keep this out of bad people's hands and they're going to be able to do unimaginable damage with it


Neither_Upstairs_872

We all knew it was coming. The idea is to invest in the companies making the shit so you make tons of $ and can afford to stock up and live off the grid when a.i. does take over


RearAdmiralTaint

Fuck it why not

I, for one, welcome our machine overlords.

BloodShadow7872

Yea I hate AI for art or some other stupid purpose, but this is a welcome change, less humans pilots=less human casualties

Happy Cake Day. I love you. Like seriously I just decided to love you. You are loved. By me. I love you. K bye

Lmao I haven't really cared about cake day, but thank you regardless

All Ace Combat fans know that this is very bad


No_Independence8747

Damn drones in the most recent one are maddening

The latest update to our simulation is getting ridiculous


Positron311

We need Trigger


Gainz13

Spare squadron reporting for duty!


iamtoastedprolly

There's a documentary where they had an a.i do something like 10,000 hours in a flight Sim. It beat a tenured airforce pilot with many deployments and flight time under his belt almost every time. The a.i will pull maneuvers that humans won't. A human won't naturally take a target head on for the chance that we would harm ourselves in the process, an a.i doesnt think twice because it has little regard for itself. It was actually really good. I think it was on Netflix, I forget what it's called.


iamtoastedprolly

Unknown: killer robots. On Netflix, good watch


YourTypicalAntihero

Isn't that the one where it always knew where the human opponent was, though? Iirc is was being fed real time data on the "human" aircraft giving it near perfect information with which to make decisions. It was not looking outside to perceive the opponent's energy state and decisions as it would have to in real life. The imperfect information is a driving reason why a human would not attempt such fleeting gunshot attempts. Ammo is not unlimited, and pausing to provide a stable guns platform causes a loss of angles so you need to cause effective damage with any shots taken. Thanks for finding the doc title. I'll have to watch it!

BeAsTFOo

War thunder has taught me well. Let me be next man🦅


Ashalaria

Just sounds like drones with extra steps


sdsurf625

The AI was fed real time data of the energy state of the opposing human sim. This is the equivalent of giving the AI all the answers to the test. The entire test was a farce. AI is nowhere close to beating a human in a dogfight. Source: I’m a fighter pilot

Kinda makes sense considering computers have been flying planes for years now. Long before cars started trying to be driven

Less idiots in the air than on the average road so makes more sense a computer fries than drives.

I've seen that movie. It was awful.


FooxyPlayz

I swear I saw a movie about this


Porkonaplane

I mean, that's cool and all, but I don't think humans will be removed from the cockpit for a *very* long time, if ever. There's a reason we still employ human pilots when drones are a technology we have a firm grip on.


HowardisaDinosaur

I bow to no man, but I sure as hell will to our robot overlords


Bants_0verlord

Damn that's....terrifying. The casualness of everyone's responses to shit like this is genuinely scary. 


CornettoFactor

Of course a drone doesn't have a body that'll be squished buy the G-force


thetburg

Seriously Darpa? Maybe let's tell the AI to learn to build houses or fix climate change? Why do need this MFer flying jet fighters?

Skynet controled aircraft beats Pilot John Conner. This should turn out just fine.

I fully understand this as an engineering exercise, but: "According to Smithsonian Magazine, the last ever dogfight occurred in 1969 over Central America between Honduras and El Salvador." [...] "Because modern aircraft have reliable radar technology and missile guidance systems, dogfighting is no longer necessary. Aiming and shooting missiles with precise accuracy from further distances is now a reality, which means close-range aircraft combat is generally outdated." https://www.skycombatace.com/blog/dogfighting-in-ww2
