Some may have believed they were against AI being used for war. They just don’t want it to make the final kill decision.

The argument given by those supporting them is that AI in the military was inevitable, so their position is a reasonable one.

It's not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they're irresponsible.

They're not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today's problem.
