I don’t think the “pilot will be replaced by AI”. I think there will just be drones that look nothing like fighter jets. Some might have a certain amount of autonomy, which is vaguely similar to “AI”. Others will be controlled remotely. Still others will probably be a mix, like a swarm that’s human-controlled but where the individual drones in the swarm are somewhat autonomous.
