I disagree with this. There is one glaring issue with AI-powered weapons, in comparison to other traditional ones - the skill ceiling required to make massive damages at scale.
Sure, you can probably level a whole town if you get your hands on some kind of advanced artillery. But it’s still vastly more complex machine, that probably requires extensive training just to operate. You need an army for that, and army is made of people who will hopefully tell you “No, we’re not doing that”, if your request is not reasonable. And if you somehow try to do it yourself, good luck getting more than a few shots out before someone notices and tries to stop you.
If you have an army of hundreds or thousands of AI powered suicide drones, where you just slap an explosive on them, set a target and the whole fleet will start running, you only need one person with a computer. And once you send the fleet, it’s vastly more difficult to stop it. Hell, you probably don’t event need to physically get to the drones, if you can hack into the system that controls them.
And that’s the biggest issue with any AI-powered weapon, and a reason why they shouldn’t exist.
Russian army did not, in fact, say they are not doing that. They proceeded to level entire towns. Not once, but every time the order was given.
That is true, and not exactly what I was getting at. I was more talking about stuff like coups or domestic terrorism, where you can cause a way more wast amount of damage if you have autonomous AI weapons.
Also, there was that one time in the cold war (I think) where the Russian guy refused to launch a nuke, and it turned out it was a false alarm, which has probably saved the world.
Should i.e. Putin decide to hold onto his power at all costs and started leveling cities in Russia, where most people don’t agree with him, you’d probably get a lot of people in the army who wouldn’t be OK with that. Maybe, I don’t know. But should he have an army of autonomous AI weapons, all he needs is a few guys who do, and know how to launch it.
Not true, Russians are brainwashed to think Ukraine is actually Russia and they have been killing “Russians” and levelling “historically Russian cities” and killing “ethnically Russian population”
If there’s a bullshit excuse to destroy a border town they will do it. Like “rebels took it over” or whatever
