Risks of the AI going amok set aside there’s something appealing in not risking human lifes during conflicts. Karmically or economically wise. Also you remove the limitations of human bodies -suddenly your airframe can give 100% of its capabilities without turning the pilot in a milkshake.
Removing humans from your side of the war lowers the cost of going to war and allows for even more centralized power. It’s a lot easier to do morally bankrupt acts if you don’t need to convinced a group of human soldiers to do it. Clearly you can anyway a lot of the time, but going for the robots is a lot cheaper/less risky.
It’s pretty obvious why powerful people would want this and why it would be terrible for the rest of us even without worrying about a hypothetical sky net future.
It’s a lot easier to murder with robots, but they’re going to need new models if they want to replace all the raping, pillaging, bureaucratic corruption, oppression, etc…
It only sounds problematic to someone who cares about the lives of ordinary people. But that’s not the sort of person who dedicates their whole life to increasing their own wealth and power by any means necessary. Those are the people that get to make the decisions.
I look forward to them being equipped with the ability to refuel by consuming biomass, self replicating, and having unbreakable encryption so they can’t be stopped!

Do you want a Butlerian Jihad? Cuz this is how you get a Butlerian Jihad!
I think the Butlerian Jihad can’t do shit against Judgment Day.
Might be more humane after all
wasn’t there a movie about this being a bad thing? i’m pretty sure there was…
There’s been at least a couple.
Dunt dunt dunt-dunt
I don’t think so.
Man, someday you’re gonna have a blast watching the Terminator movies for the first time. Maybe even today!
lol, blast
An entire category of movies saying “don’t do this exact course of actions ever”? Sounds like a good starting guide!
But the autonomous fighter plane learned about 2000s Alt-Rock and made jokes! It’s a good guy!
New light novel just dropped-My Ai Girlfriend is a Thermal Nuclear Bomb that Wants the Launch Codes.
Why are the people in power always biased towards the most brain dead decisions? Does this not sound wrong to any of them?

There’s plenty of training material for those around I understand…
Military intelligence is to intelligence, what military music is to music.

Ah, my mistake.
Thanos: it was… inevitable.
Paging James Cameron…
they should just buy a tesla
Yes, until now a Tesla killed more people.

Fast forward a thousand years and we be living in caves again, referring to each other by metal-themed nicknames.
Oh great, Skynet is actually the US millitary.
I’m sorry we’re like this.
