What's the point of it? "Hi ChatGpt, the Russian enemy is like 10 degrees on the left and a bit further down from the currently aimed position. Maybe 12 degrees... Just shoot 100 times and vary the x and y degree by a radom value between 0 and 5 degrees with steps of 0.1 degrees each time based on a secure RNG, so you maybe hit the enemy. If you hit, I'm gonna tell you and give you further instructions. If not, repeat in an loop, but break out of it after 5 minutes."

After you explained it what to to, the enemy already took your position and is confused what that thing in front of them is, so maybe put a bomb below it and activate it remotely...

Seems to be the least useful AI assisted killing machine possible.

It's a tech demo. It's not made to be practical. It is made to spur the imagination.
