Removing humans from your side of the war lowers the cost of going to war and allows for even more centralized power. It’s a lot easier to do morally bankrupt acts if you don’t need to convinced a group of human soldiers to do it. Clearly you can anyway a lot of the time, but going for the robots is a lot cheaper/less risky.
It’s pretty obvious why powerful people would want this and why it would be terrible for the rest of us even without worrying about a hypothetical sky net future.
It’s a lot easier to murder with robots, but they’re going to need new models if they want to replace all the raping, pillaging, bureaucratic corruption, oppression, etc…
Definitely! Reliable discrimination of combatant and non combatant and chain of responsibility for that decision is much more important than just having a human in the loop.

There’s plenty of training material for those around I understand…
