here's the real future skynet, not your horseshit whining about drones, which aren't autonomous...there are real things like this to worry about, things that make the people working in the field very nervous. they're already effecting our society, forcing choices through the algorithms they use to make suggestions, before they've ever had an independent "thought"... but your bullshit virtue signalling and posturing are more important than the actual rise of the machines....

If thats is actually the case, you understand what war means.
The bad guys in war are the opposing force.

No. War is war, the adversary is the opponent. You definitely are not a veteran

This is a convenient lie, told to soldiers throughout time so they would willingly kill and die for the aggrandisement of others.

Pretty sure it being a job doesn’t imply any sort of morality.

What's morality got to do with it? It's what they are suppose to do. They kill people if they don't get their way.

There are rules of war and breaking those rules are war crimes. Soldiers therefore are expected to have a sense of morality. AI? I can see it being very easy to program them to violate the rules of war and then when their masters are confronted, they'll just say something stupid like "oopsie".

Humanity is finding ways to destroy itself faster than it's finding ways to survive. It doesn't take a genius to spot the trend and foresee the outcome.

Well AI will be the end of mankind as masters.

And making moral rules of war is nice on paper, but in the end your job is to intimidate or destroy and kill. Because if you don't they will.
