Can't they literally pull turns that would snap the pilots neck?

Can anyone confirm if AI has a neck?

My neck. My back. Lick my inputs & my headphone-jack.

Not very loud when I’m using it

But the supervising wingmen do.

Maybe if you were sitting sideways in the cockpit and did it very abruptly with the flight control computer disabled (only a few jets can even disable it). It's the sustained G loading that makes you black out or red out.

A skilled and fit pilot can pull ~9G in a Viper for about 30s.

A computer can pull ~9G for as long has the plane has the speed to pull that hard, or it can pull as hard as it can until the plane snaps in half, because computers don’t suffer from g-LOC.
