oh yeah, it literally could just be robot dogs with "kill anyone who's an insurgent, and detain anyone who assists insurgents" orders and AI to let them go buck wild with that prompt.

You could end up with children getting shot because an AI starts hallucinating if they don't put adequate guard rails.

And that's like a worst case situation. Realistically, you end up with just a lot more brutality in war because people are detached from the violence they cause as an invading force, and way less PTSD. Wars in the Middle East start sounding more and more like statistics that no one really wants to hear about, and there's way less soldiers to choose to disregard unlawful orders.

You could see a fuck load more war crime with such human detachment, I think. We probably already deal with this to a large extent with drones.

Not that I'd prefer humans dying, but we should avoid robotic invasion wars like the plague imo.
