Jesus, /k/ is getting really tinfoil hat recently.

>when in rome

AAAAHHHHH

Nothing the 7.62 NATO cannot solve.

I don't think these will ever really replace a meaningful amount of actual people, they'll be too unreliable and expensive.

OP's talking about AI, not those LS3 robots - AI's already proven itself to statistically be superior and more reliable than humans. They're also arguably cheaper; the upkeep on a neural networking computer is a hell of a lot less than that of a human.

We're going to see AI efforts first primarily in intel analysis, ID systems in certain weapons (some jets already use neural networks for identifying targets) and cyber security / warfare. Next will be unmanned vehicles that are better at autonomously doing tasks, then it'll probably be AI strategy systems / planning systems (where it'll automatically work out the best distribution of certain systems, etc) then down the line we'll see actual combat systems.

hardly expensive compared to humans, and are incredibly reliable given it was built to standard, idk where your getting you information. Prepare for a lack of a job within 15 years bud

>all this effort to make 4 legged walking bots to carry their shit
It's almost like we once had horses for this task.

Robots don't shit on everything or get spooked or go fuckcrazy when they smell marepusi

There are lots of jobs that cannot be automated.

They did fine quite recently actually.

AI have one, maybe two achille's heels.

>A programs doing what is was told to do, which mean the ability to think outside the box is non-existant
>the constant need for power, which mean cutting the electric grid can kill it.

An AI in a conventional warfare will not stand at all if it is centralised, and could be easily compromised if decentralised.

An AI in guerilla warfare will be more of a dead weight than anything.

We also used to assemble cars exclusively using manpower, and "computers" used to be human interns that did tedious bitch math for real mathematicians.

t. guy whos job can be automated

>>33170058
Depends, can they oper8 with us? I wanna operate with a robot friend.
If they're against well, that's what AP is for.

As fucking awesome as the whole "operators on horses" thing is/was it was more about the Northern Alliance having shit logistics and being on their back foot in the early days of Afghanistan than anything else. In an ideal world they'd have been on dirt bikes or ATVs but the infrastructure on the ground didn't allow for anything but horses.

I've used horses and pack mules in the wilderness, and while it's objectively awesome it also doesn't hold a candle to mechanized transport.

Something that can handle rough terrain like a horse and can carry the same or greater weight, that ideally doesn't require the same level of babysitting?
>load it up
>give it coordinates
>wait
Mules btfo.
They're not there yet obviously but that's the ultimate goal.
