im thinking about quitting squad-based shooter video games after realizing that they're probably going to feed all the player telemetry into some Ender's Game (H. Miku, 1985) LLM for informing officers how to war, and being good at that once that period hits seems like a bad idea

Oh shit, my son is playing entirely too much Fortnite and Overwatch, he's 100% going to get drafted into the Battle Academy.
I guess I should have him read Ender's Game so that I can provide the parental guidance and perspective on it that we all lacked reading it at a tender age?
my big problem is I play competitively with high performance teams in what amounts to realistic and scifi suburban-urban combat squad based soft-MilSims where you die in .3 seconds.
I don't think tactics from other shooter games would be dumped into an AI model, because they aren't applicable, but games allow for rapid iteration and learning from your mistakes that training exercises and battle reports don't really give.
there's several orders of magnitude less fear of death, but probably still stuff to glean from it, enough that an AI company could reasonably pitch the idea.
though poisoning it with fortnite would be interesting. "SARGE-AI WHAT DO WE DO" "`BUILD PLATFORM BUILD WALL BUILD WALL BUILD WALL DANCE"
