Nice try. I am not going to rise to the bait. What you think I am is immaterial (and wrong) and nothing but an emotional response on your part.
However, I do suggest you go back and read my posts and tell me where I discussed this carrier tracking ability as something that only China can do. It's not.
In fact Machine Learning and image recognition is table stakes in the world of AI and relatively easy when it comes to something as simple as ships.
So let's get back to the facts (of which I have yet to see any from you, btw).
Carrier tracking and even ship tracking in general using subs, hydrophones and sonar arrays is nothing new. For the last 30 years the US and other countries have developed databases of ships where they can identify them based on their sound alone (using speed, machinery and working sounds, cavitation and others) and track them. This is not used just for carriers, but for all ships. Although, submarines are of particular interest by all parties. When it comes to military vessels, when there is (maybe) 50,000 total world wide, that's not a very big database. And the ability to match on sounds existed decades ago even without AI.
Here is just a little sample of what I am talking about:
But, hey keep burying your head in the ground and pretending it's not possible.
