Ah, the military. The one industry that’s not salivating at the idea of replacing all of its employees with AI.
Nice to know that after AI takes all the jobs, we’ll still be able to go die in pointless wars.

You’re obviously not watching the news about the hundreds of automated drones in Ukraine…
Our military is unlikely to get larger in terms of manpower. I suspect for every soldier there will be 10 drones supporting them.

Yes, but the drones are expensive, whereas dead soldiers actually cost less money than live citizens.
