Manually attacking your adversary is so 1900s. Train a MASSIVE ai on every classified hacking methodology/procedure document in existence, give it the adversary's IP ?range, and press GO.

Hacking is too complex to be automated like that - for now at least. Especially the AI buzzword is useless in this context. There are a lot of attempts to automate the process, but none of them come close to manual review by an experienced professional.

Even if only one in a million succeed, it's still able to try those million damn fast. And it's only going to get better logarithmically.

That would just cause chaos. Which might benefit the attacker but I think you’d be better off with smaller targeted strikes using the secret catalog of CIA/NSA hacking tools already available to them. Or I suppose why not do both.
