Even United States military brass is looking to AI for answers these days.The top United States Army commander in South Korea revealed to reporters this week that he has been using a chatbot to help with decisions that affect thousands of U.S. soldiers.'As a commander, I want to make better decisions.'On Monday, Major General William "Hank" Taylor told the media in Washington, D.C., that he is using AI to sharpen decision-making, but not on the battlefield. The major general — the fourth-highest officer rank in the U.S. Army — is using the chatbot to assist him in daily work and command of soldiers.Speaking to reporters at a media roundtable at the annual Association of the United States Army conference, Taylor reportedly said "Chat and I" have become "really close lately."According to Business Insider, the officer added, "I'm asking to build, trying to build models to help all of us."Taylor also said that he is indeed using the technology to make decisions that affect the thousands of soldiers under his command, while acknowledging another blunt reason for using AI.RELATED: The government's anti-drone energy weapons you didn't know existed Photo by Seung-il Ryu/NurPhoto via Getty Images "As a commander, I want to make better decisions," the general explained. "I want to make sure that I make decisions at the right time to give me the advantage."In a seemingly huge revelation for an Army officer, Taylor also revealed that it has been a challenge to keep up with the developing technology.At the same time, tech outlet Futurism claimed that the general is in fact using ChatGPT, warning that the AI has been found to generate false information regarding basic facts "over half the time."ChatGPT is not mentioned in Business Insider's report.Return reached out to Army officials to ask if the quotes attributed to Taylor were accurate, if he is actually using ChatGPT, and if they believe there to be inherent risks in doing so. An official Pentagon account acknowledged the request, but did not respond to the questions. This article will be updated with any applicable responses.It was recently reported by Return that the military is already tinkering with a chatbot of its own.RELATED: Zuckerberg's vision: US military AI and tech around the world SeongJoon Cho/Bloomberg via Getty Images Military exercises in Fort Carson, Colorado, and Fort Riley, Kansas, recently took place, utilizing an offline chatbot called EdgeRunner AI.EdgeRunner CEO Tyler Saltsman told Return that his company is currently testing the chatbot with the Department of War to deliver real-time data and mission strategy to soldiers on the ground. The chatbot can be installed on a wide variety of devices and used without an internet connection, to avoid interception by the enemy.Like Blaze News?

NBC News has released several identity-based news teams that cover sexuality- and race-focused stories.Not only were dozens of employees laid off, but the cuts seemingly came as a surprise.'Not their first gay rodeo.'NBC News reportedly made the announcement early on Wednesday, and according to insiders, the bomb was dropped by Executive Vice President of Editorial Catherine Kim. At around 10 a.m., about 150 NBC News staffers were told they were no longer employed during a brief meeting that was described by one source as a "difficult day for a lot of us."LGB-freeThe Wrap reported that the cuts completely eliminated teams who superficially covered news for black, Asian, Latino, and various gay identities. This includes NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino, and NBC OUT.NBC OUT, for example, describes itself as content driven toward "the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community."Recent coverage included, "Queer art faces widespread museum censorship," and "Not their first gay rodeo: Celebrating 50 years of queer cowfolks."NBC BLK recently published a piece on how a "new exhibit highlights LGBTQ legacy of Harlem Renaissance."The bizarre content will still live on, but in a less dedicated format.RELATED: No MAGA 'Magic' allowed? Champion card gamer faces bans for Trump support Photographer: Michael Nagle/Bloomberg via Getty Images The Wrap noted that the specific pages will still have stories published regarding the identity groups, but the content will come from a group of just five news team members who will contribute to the pages across the board. Another alleged inside source said the cuts were not meant to target the diversity teams, but rather were driven by budget concerns and a desire to "streamline its editorial efforts."Ruffled feathersThe shift in personnel comes after Comcast announced a realignment of its networks in August. As reported by Reuters, USA Network, CNBC, and MSNBC will branch off into a new company called Versant. MSNBC will also change its name to "MS NOW" and lose its peacock logo. The new name is an acronym for "My Source News Opinion World."MSNBC was launched in 1996 and represented a partnership between Microsoft and the National Broadcasting Company. Microsoft left the venture in 2012, however. CNBC will keep the same name, which stands for Consumer News and Business Channel.RELATED: God doesn't make anyone gay: The case against banning 'conversion therapy' Photographer: Michael Nagle/Bloomberg via Getty Images Divesting diversityNBC News' total reductions make up about 7% of its 2,000 staffers. The move comes as several companies shift away from their divisive verticals, which haven't always been amicable departures. In April, Paramount agreed to terminate its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which included racial quotas for staff and writers, after it was sued by a white writer who said he was discriminated against.Then-president and CEO of CBS George Cheeks had said publicly that he set a goal for CBS writing rooms to have 40% non-white staff members, with 17 of 21 networks allegedly meeting or exceeding that target.Like Blaze News?
