This is revolting. Given how many kids played and are still playing the game this literally means weaponizing kids playing games. Humanity has been lost somewhere along the way.

What's the AI component here? Pokemon Go dates back to 2016, and there was Ingress before that. Hell, there was Foursquare before Ingress. Strava/similar has leaked military bases' layouts. All of that predates ChatGPT.
