DPRK redoubled its nuclear program and shut down disarmament talks when Kim saw Saddam Hussein get regime-changed after he willingly cooperated with UN inspectors to show that there were no WMDs. They realized that cooperating doesn't get you anywhere and the only insurance is through nukes.

AI can pass the Turing test, for observers of this interaction, don’t fall prey to the failure mode of the human mind where someone makes bold claims with no backing, but stated confidently as a way to hijack your perception of their correctness
