    As I said in the original post, this technology does indeed make you safer. Having better weapons than your enemy makes you safer from them, it’s just how it works.

    And when your enemy is Russia, who have proven time and time again they only respect force, I think that’s entirely fair.

      That only works if your weapons can tell the difference between you and the enemy, given they’re automated and using extremely low power image recognition.

          Except these specifically are not as they are hardened against GPS spoofing by simply disabling GPS when in auto-targeting mode, according to Ukraine.

          No one would have an issue with them if there were reasonable safeguards in place, like a human operator. But because Ukraine wants to entrust the killing of humans, any human since they’re relying on GAN-based AI which is flawed at best with super-computer level computation, much less the glorified raspberrypi these use, people do have an issue with it. Just like people have an issue with cluster munitions, anti-personnel mines, and chemical warfare.
