Agreed.  If one wishes to worry about this sort of thing, a more likely
scenario is the West's weapons being run by AI, and what sort of military
and society that might encourage.  It is already the case that there have
been drone strikes based on faulty Intel resulting in significant civilian
casualties, in some cases set up by the West's enemies to generate
propaganda and recruitment, which less autonomous operations seem unlikely
to have fallen for.
