Eh

We can kinda guarantee that future wars will be fought with bots, ai and drones etc

Fewer humans will be killed in theory

Of course then the winner is just who can make the most drones

But i do prefer bots and drones dying, over humans. I mean chemical weapons are already illegal in war and russia still use it.. need to fight fire with hotter fire

It will be robots sent to kill humans, whether by another country or the country on its own citizens.

Robots killing robots is just damage to capital which the elites will make sure is not the path forward.

I mean bombs are made to blow up so constantly having reasons to blow up means there's reasons to keep on making money off the bomb factories. So it props up the military industrial complex

This is a complete misread of what this means. Drones are used to kill people, not other drones. Drones are last priority targets in basically all cases except for strategic defensive positions. This switch means more death at the hands of less (or no) people. It's like arguing that nukes are good because they're so destructive that they'll end war. Which is the opposite of what they did, wars just became proxy wars in an attempt to drain your adversary of resources, instead of direct conflict to stop them. We have more international conflict now than at any point in human history. This will make that even worse.
