That was the current example we were thinking of, though we did look up war crimes law thinking on the subject tl;dr you risk war crimes if there isn't a human in the loop. e.g., think of a minefield as the simplest possible stationary autonomous weapon system, the rest is that with computers.

Plenty of time and money's been spent building up this idea of spicy autocomplete suddenly turning on humanity and trying to kill us all. If and when one of those spectacular disasters you and Amy predicted does happen, I can easily see it leading to wild stories of ChatGPT going full Terminator or some shit like that.
