A US Air Force F-16 pilot just battled AI in 5 simulated dogfights, and the machine emerged...

Inevitable I suppose.

I would not get too excited as there were drastic limitations in the simulation like lack of missiles. That's like two armies fighting with swords and the archers can't engage.

Well the AI isn’t constrained to G forces and can operate beyond the envelope of human ability to the full limitations of the airframe.
