    They went a bit too far with the argument… the AI doesn’t need to become self-aware, just exceptionally efficient at eradicating “the enemy”… just let it loose from all sides all at once, and nobody will survive.

    How many people are there in the world, who aren’t considered an “enemy” by at least someone else?

        “Scared” is a strong word… more like “curious”, to see how it goes. I’m mostly waiting for the “autonomous rifle dog fails” videos, hoping to not be part of them.

      Only if human military leaders are stupid enough to give AI free and unlimited access to weaponry, rather than just using it as an advisory tool and making the calls themselves.

        Part of the reason of “adding AI” to everything, “dumb AI”, is to reduce reaction times and increase obedience mission completion rates. Meaning, to cut the human out of the loop.

        It’s being sold as a “smart” move.
