China’s J-36 Fighter Designers Say AI Invents Fake Fighter Jet Specifications: Length, Payload, Speed, Combat Radius

Engineers say large language models can invent fighter data and misread radar details, raising the risk of strategic mistakes in defense analysis.

Summary by 19FortyFive
Engineer Zhang Xianzhe of the Chengdu Aircraft Research and Design Institute warns that AI models can invent aircraft specifications - length, payload, weapons, speed, combat radius - and miscalculate radar scan ranges and frequency bands. The hallucination effect, he writes, produces plausible but false outputs in a field with very little tolerance for error.
