Defense Scoop reports,
“Almost two months after the Pentagon deployed GenAI.mil on government desktops across its sprawling workforce, all but one of the military services have formally declared the asset to be their teams’ AI platform of choice.
“In response to questions from DefenseScoop on Monday, a Pentagon official said that there have been “1.1 million unique users” on GenAI.mil to date.”
Guess which armed service is not using this particular AI tool?
Not sure I would want a subordinate to rely too much on AI, but it is sure to be used. My limited experience is that AI tells me something I would have found by googling the question but it doesn’t give me the source of the information so I have less confidence.
Of course I have no experience with GenAI.mil, maybe it is better.
I am also uncomfortable with having Secretary Hegseth standing in for Uncle Sam. Are they going to take down the posters when we get a new Secretary? The poster would be inappropriate for use by the Coast Guard.

I think when somebody who is elected leaves office they have to change all manner of things Chucky. I think posters for a campaign in an administration with the best part of 3 years to go are a minor problem…
Why not put on your big pants and say you have trouble with Trump’s SoW appearing on media. TDS is treatable these days.
I just think it is a character flaw.
