The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can't Think the Way We Do by Erik J. Larson (2021) is a good reference for why computers can only mimic human intelligence in limited ways and areas. The reasons involve both computer architecture and limitations regarding possible broad, ongoing computer interactions in the human world, among other things.
That doesn't mean a supercomputer cluster wouldn't be darn useful in planning a military campaign; I'm sure it would.
Hmm surely this two time DARPA funded startup entrepreneur who was published by Harvard is telling us the truth with no deception at all involved...
Think what you like. Opinions of those in the field are all over the map, and my own opinion -- and major concern -- is that without human-like biological foundations, artificial thinking is bereft of feeling (the largest, deepest, and most ancient part of our intelligence) which means, among other things: NO EMPATHY is possible. Humans share a common DNA language and much body and mental architecture with each other and with animals; we also share many of the same basic needs (food, air, water, etc) and desires. We feel love and fear and awe and pain, we sense our kinship with others from their body language, facial expressions, needs, and more. A supercomputer has none of that; at most it has programmed mimicry.
A machine AI will be a psychopath; it won't necessarily be motivated by malice (unless programmed, even unwittingly, to act in that fashion) but it also won't feel any deep connection with human beings.
That a cluster of supercomputers will only have third-hand knowledge of whatever daily human actions and experiences people typically have will also work against the AI's having correct and useful knowledge about many human situations, motivations, needs, and so on.
