In the end AI is artificial and somewhere requires actual intelligence to run it.

"Actual intelligence"? Have you been on social media?  ;)

Yeah, well, the problem there is that "intelligence" without wisdom is in abundance.

Actually, I stated that incorrectly. There is an abundance of "knowledge" without wisdom.

I do not do... so called "social media". Nothing social about it. Most of those folks have no idea how to approach someone and start a conversation.   :rofl

This board qualifies as social media though in an older fashion.

It depends on how you define dogfighting. WW1 is dogfighting in the purest sense of the term, so I would argue that the introduction of air to air rockets ended pure dogfighting. Anything after that I'd call air to air combat.
But, if that's the case arming 2 AI drones with just guns and they jockey with one another for a gun solution is dogfighting...just without the humans onboard.
Dogfighting will never die but how we go about it has evolved over time.

I think "dogfight" is more an allusion to the close quarter jockeying for position in a fight than the weapons employed. Missiles are just smarter bullets.

Nah missiles don't count as dogfighting as it has always meant..

There aren't going to be drone dogfighting either..

Man to man .. no radar, flares or chaff allowed..
