Womp womp, they told it to do cyber security things with no cyber security guardrails and it did cyber security stuff. Did anything bad end up happening?

Responsibility will always have to lie with the user, but if the weapons are more advanced and safer then why is that bad? I like that autonomous vehicles like Waymo are 10x safer then human drivers, even if a 'Machine' is making decisions.
The mines got banned because they were dumb...
So you would prefer weapons that cannot reason at all?
"You're absolutely right, that wasn't a military target—it was actually a girls school. It won't happen again!"
Most likely this event happened due to a bad targeting system that wasn't smart enough, if it had a better llm underpinning it (assuming it had any) maybe those lives would have been saved. More reason for more smart people like the author to work on these systems.
Thats fine, but a serious luxury belief IMO
Thats like saying cars wont work because they get flat tires
Saying AI military products wont work is the dumbest thing i've heard in awhile
Agreed, I feel like the people who say no to AI weapons haven't actually presented a real argument (that I have heard) besides terminator bad
Respect for sticking to your beliefs. Just out of curiosity though why do people not want smart AI weapons? I would much rather have an onboard AI that can discriminate between unarmed civilians and military assets, seems irresponsible to not... Is a dumb sea mine that blows up everything somehow better than a smart sea mine that knows to not blow up sometimes?
