Imagine a mine that could move around, target seek, refuel, rearm, and kill hundreds of people without human intervention. Comparing an autonomous murder machine to a mine is like comparing a flint lock pistol to the fucking gattling cannon in an a10.
Well, an important point you and him. Both forget to mention is that mines are considered inhumane. Perhaps that means AI murdering should also be considered. Inhumane, and we should just not do it instead of allowing landmines.

For what it’s worth, there’s footage on youtube of drone swarm demonstrations that were posted 6 years ago. Considering that the military doesn’t typically release footage of the cutting edge of its tech to the public, so this demonstration was likely for a product that was already going obsolete; and that the 6 years that have passed since have made lightning fast developments in things like facial recognition… at this point I’d be surprised if we weren’t already at the very least field testing the murder machines you described.
Imagine a mine that could recognize “that’s just a child/civilian/medic stepping on me, I’m going to save myself for an enemy soldier.” Or a mine that could recognize “ah, CenCom just announced a ceasefire, I’m going to take a little nap.” Or “the enemy soldier that just stepped on me is unarmed and frantically calling out that he’s surrendered, I’ll let this one go through. Not the barrier troops chasing him, though.”
@FaceDeer okay so now that mines allegedly recognise these things they can be automatically deployed in cities.
Sure there’s a 5% margin of error but that’s an “acceptable” level of colateral according to their masters. And sure they are better at recognising some ethnicities than others but since those they discriminate against aren’t a dominant part of the culture that peoduces them, nothing gets done about it.
And after 20 years when the tech is obsolete and they all start malfunctioning we’re left with the same problems we have with current mines, only because the ban on mines was reversed the scale of the problem is much much worse than ever before.
As an important note in this discussion, we already have weapons that autonomously decide to kill humans. Mines.

This, jesus, we’re still losing limbs and clearing mines from wars that were over decades ago.
An autonomous field of those is horror movie stuff.
Pretty sure the entire DOD got a collective boner reading this.

There’s opportunities for good here.
Yes, those definitely sound like the sort of things military contractors consider.
Why waste a mine on the wrong target?
Why occupy a hospital?
Why encroach on others land?
Sorry… are you saying that’s what Palestinians are doing?
I feel you’re being obtuse on purpose here, but no I’m saying that the other side of this conflict has been doing that.
Lmao are you 12?
They do have the mentality of one.
