Summary: Engineer Zhang Xianzhe of the Chengdu Aircraft Research and Design Institute warns that AI models can generate plausible but false fighter-jet specifications, including length, payload, weapons, speed, and combat radius. He also says the hallucination effect can miscalculate radar scan ranges and frequency bands, where errors have little tolerance.
