Not all is bad, it's preferable to have autonomous systems killing each other than killing humans. If it gets very prevalent you could even get to a point where war is just simulated war games. Why have an AI piloted F-35 fight a AI piloted J-36? Just do it on the computer. It's at least 1 or 2 less pilots that die in that case.

It's a bit too late for that, since Ukraine and Russia are both already using AI-controlled drones in combat.

The risks needs to be weighed against the downside of not deploying a capable system against your enemies.
