What is war going to look like when every country is just using

>What makes that different from a video game?

The soldiers are behind the screens while the civilians are in the battleground.

>>34093943
When you detonate a high altitude nuclear weapon and fry billions of dollars worth of equipment.

Or just bomb the control center.

it's probably going to turn into the various sci-fi stories which the robots keep on fighting after all the humans have died due to whatever reason

like that lame voyager episode (I'm sure there are others, I can only think of that one off the top of my head)

>muh emp
You guys have been BTFO so many times I'm starting to think you're trying to meme magic EMPs into working.
Who's paying? Kimmie boy?
What's he pay in, Hennessy, bolts of vinylon and 50 bags of UN food aid rice?

>>34095933
Never heard of EMP being a meme. What's the problem with it?

It's only really a threat to the power grid. Sure, that's nothing to sneeze at but it's something we can bounce back from.
They're also fairly easy to harden electronics against and the vast majority of military electronics are hardened against them because we spent the better half of the 20th century pretty damn sure we'd be driving tanks through nuke churned europe

I can finally have my "being turned into a robot" paid for by doing a tour or two somewhere

>>34093943
we will have clone wars first

>>34093943
I can only imagine it would be horrible. The apotheosis of total war, where only destruction of industry or civilian targets would ever end conflict.

>>34096845
maybe it would reach a gamestate with agreed upon rules like mech warrior where they use robots just cause its cool and they dont want to nuke everything

For what purpose?

It's from the Animatrix

Some parts of the movie are pretty weird,

You don't get the purpose of war, do you?

That picture is probably a dude in a suit

In reality what the fuck would be the benefit in making combat robots look as human as possible? Legit combat robots would probably look like a severely refined version of the Boston Dynamics dog with a turret mounted on the top.

Large numbers of civilian casualties due to psychological wall (someone behind a screen is more likely to drop when the human on the other end is just pixels), more and more expensive jamming units, logistics becoming an even bigger pain in the ass, technical expertise coming in at a premium, etc.

I don't think there will ever really be "robot armies" because there's a simple cost-benefit ratio involved where eventually handing someone a gun and saying "go kill them!" is cheaper than building a dozen kill-bots and hiring 100+ people to keep them running and maintained. There's also going to be problems no matter what with remotely-controlled mass-manufactured machines. As in: Find one security hole, and the whole fleet is compromised. The CIA lost its veritable prototype stealth drone in its first flight over Iran because they used jamming techniques that have been around for decades. That's the sort of problem robot armies would have to overcome, except on a mass scale. You really don't want to march 200 death machines into a country and have a switch flipped where they all turn off and/or put into a neutral mode where they can be recovered and used against you later.

There's also the obvious: The only way you're going to be able to get robot armies to do what you want is via satellite. That makes them clear targets. You really don't want Low Earth Orbit becoming a shooting gallery of debris making space travel impossible for a century or more.

This is why I contend most robotic security units will be employed domestically or as security. As the cities and grow and become more unsafe due to 'diversity' and the like, expect police killbots to become the norm, a la Dallas.

Because you want them to replace the human component entirely.
Design a robot that works like a human and you're all set.
Go with doggies and you'll have to add doggie doors everywhere, elevators instead of ladders because quads can't climb them, specialised equipment to interface with every system used by the current military, etc.
