It seems to me that Joel had a vision of a robot army in the Last Days:
Joel 2:7 They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks. 8 They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down. 9 They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter at the windows like a thief.

Thomas Nelson. NKJV, Holy Bible (p. 3645). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Sounds good to me. Let’s make killer robots and send them to make war on China.

What somebody ‘wants’ in war usually isn’t what they ‘get’ in war.

I’ve heard of this idea before. It was called “The Terminator”.

Let’s see how well autonomous AI does at that.

We can end them next month if Americans stop buying Chinese garbage and poison...

Reminds me of the first huge waves of layoffs of top earning auto manufacturing workers when robotic machines took over painting and placement of doors and hoods and so on. Then more and more jobs were lost to more and more machines.

Workers said “Let the company lay us off and the robots can make the cars but we’ll all be broke so sell the cars to the robots and have them drive them.”

When “self driving” or “autonomous” vehicles started I remembered that sad and desperate statement.

I can just picture the robot wars of the future. Both sides spend billions of dollars producing very high tech machinery that goes out and reduces itself to scrap.

Unfortunately there would probably be a lot of collateral meat damage too but the financial wreckage would be incredible.

That's impressive. I remember the days when people used to like to confuse the autonomous robot projects which were wandering the halls of a local university.

It might be different than we think.
