    Eh

    We can kinda guarantee that future wars will be fought with bots, ai and drones etc

    Fewer humans will be killed in theory

    Of course then the winner is just who can make the most drones

    But i do prefer bots and drones dying, over humans. I mean chemical weapons are already illegal in war and russia still use it… need to fight fire with hotter fire

      This is a complete misread of what this means. Drones are used to kill people, not other drones. Drones are last priority targets in basically all cases except for strategic defensive positions. This switch means more death at the hands of less (or no) people. It’s like arguing that nukes are good because they’re so destructive that they’ll end war. Which is the opposite of what they did, wars just became proxy wars in an attempt to drain your adversary of resources, instead of direct conflict to stop them. We have more international conflict now than at any point in human history. This will make that even worse.
