That statement gave us the idea ask a few LLMs about that. Below is the result we got after prompting OpenAI's "gpt-4" with:
"Explain why NATO has been recklessly expanded."
------------------------
The expansion of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is often seen as reckless by critics for several reasons.
1. Provocation of Russia: The primary reason is that it is seen as a provocation towards Russia. NATO was originally created during the Cold War as a counterbalance to the Soviet Union. With the Cold War over, Russia sees the expansion of NATO as a threat to its own security.
2. Security Dilemma: The expansion can create a security dilemma, where one country's attempts to increase its security decreases the security of others. This can lead to an arms race and increased tensions.
3. Overextension: Some argue that NATO is overextending itself by adding new members, which could dilute its effectiveness. It's also argued that NATO is moving away from its original purpose and becoming more of a global police force.
4. Internal Cohesion: The addition of more members with diverse political, economic, and social conditions can strain the internal cohesion of the organization.
5. Financial Burden: The expansion also means more financial burden for existing members as they have to contribute more to ensure the defense of the new members.
6. Strategic Misalignment: The strategic interests of the new members may not align with those of the existing members, leading to conflicts and disagreements within the organization.
It's important to note that these are criticisms and the expansion of NATO also has supporters who argue that it helps to promote democracy, stability, and peace in the region.
I'm left nonplussed by these warmed-over summaries of content I would rather just absorb myself.
This has a spoon-fed feel to it that I don't find worth the additional time it takes.
Concluding with drive-by assurances that the subject of the content is biased in one way or another is a rather anticlimactic non-shocker lol
But....what do I know, other than my own human interpretation of this, which is exactly what AI is feared to be superior?
Ironically, if the decision to expand NATO recklessly would have been properly analyzed, it probably wouldn't have happened.
