The AI, called ALPHA, was built by Psibernetix, Inc. with assistance from the Air Force Research Laboratory. Lee failed to score a single kill during his many matchups with ALPHA and the AI shot him out of the sky in every attempt. Even when ALPHA was handicapped with a slower, less maneuverable plane it still outperformed Lee and every other pilot who opposed it. And....we're screwed. |
