Maybe that will be the spur to quit the damn things until we know a lot more than we do now.  Never mind that a human makes the final decision - people make mistakes too.  I am assured by history that military minds will rush new tech into use before we are ready for it.

In war, it is always far more civilians that die than soldiers.
Look at Gaza, Hiroshima, Dresden or the famines and deprivation that follow war.
I don't see that a few civilian deaths (collateral damage) will stop
the military deploying AI weaponry.
