A US civil war in today’s current climate would see several states torn apart and wouldn’t necessarily go the way we’d think it would, an AI has claimed.

A24’s dystopian thriller Civil War, released in cinemas last month, sees modern-day America ravaged by a civil war with a ‘western alliance’ of Texas and California pitted against the US military and several other regional factions.

The Daily Star asked an artificial intelligence (AI) how an actual internal military conflict in America may pan out today, and whether we’d see an unlikely partnership between Texas and California.

There's lots of quality news coming out of the US.

“If we saw a civil war today, states that seceded during the first civil war (Confederate states), might again be more likely involved on one side,” Google’s Gemini AI said. “These include Southern states like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri.”

The AI expert also pointed out there would likely be a “rural/urban divide…, with some analysts suggesting rural areas might be more likely to secede”.

Much like in the US election, there would also be certain “key battleground” states in any sort of widespread internal conflict, the AI claimed. “States with a history of swinging between Republican and Democratic control might be more susceptible to internal division in a civil war,” it said. “Examples include Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, and North Carolina.”

In terms of military firepower – a crucial factor in any sort of conflict – California and Texas were said to have the most. “Looking at raw numbers, these states tend to have the most military bases: California, Texas and Florida," it said.

“Virginia and North Carolina, with high concentrations of military personnel, could also be significant players, whereas geographically speaking Alaska’s difficult terrain could pose an advantage.”

Although in the film Civil War, Texas and California end up on the same team, the AI suggested it would likely be a very different story in real life.

“The current political climate in the US is highly polarised, and Texas and California represent opposite ends of the spectrum,” said the AI. “Bridging this divide in the face of a national crisis would be a significant challenge.”

It added: “These states have distinct cultural identities and social values. Finding common ground on social issues or national identity could be difficult.

"Even if they were initially allied, competition for resources like water or energy could eventually lead to conflict between Texas and California. An alliance between Texas and California in a civil war would likely depend on the specific circumstances of the conflict.”
