 They are right to be concerned but ai is advancing at crazy speed.  We have humanoid helper robots going into production.   It won't be long until military versions are in production. 

At a point human army's will be obsolete

 I mean, it's not though. The cost to train these models is astronomic; the cost to run them is extremely high, and their results are poor. All they are now is a fancy parlor trick - at best a better google, but nothing you can use for definitive results.

 There's a company that is going into full production on the humanoids.  Their quota is 10'000 per year and scaling from there.  Amazon is getting the first batch by 2025 at latest, but some are planned for next year I believe.   They are meant to be these lifting helper robots that will be partnered to humans.

Ai is way more advanced than people know.  The good shit is not public

 I mean, that's just not happening. The most advanced robotics is the stuff for war. There is no murmur of anything beyond the capabilities of boston dynamics, because that's the best there is right now.

The best image recognition is what they have on cars right now, and it still fucks all kind of stuff up, and that's even with a highly marked infrastructure like roads.

 Highly advanced and expensive general purpose humanoid robots for war is a joke when your enemy can just pump out unlimited artillery, tanks and kamikaze drones on the cheap

 po a 40 out fo my niggas :schizoparrot:

 indeed, you're making the case for it being useless for industry as well.

 Same can be said for flesh armies

▲ ▼

 didn't you see the US's flesh army marching in from Mexico?

▲ ▼

 Flesh armies learn on the spot and don't have to be retrained when the enemy devices new strategy. Plus men with minor injuries keep working, while electronics with minor issues are just a bunch of useless steel (see any modern car or modern computer). Plus the opportunity cost, every factory making robots is not making shells.

Russian soldier put it better

 @Merryusconi Fever :sonnenrad: 🎄 @Spooky Ice fren❄️ 🎃 @Sick Burn, Bro the error of the age is
1. this outcome is inevitable.
2. therefore, this outcome will happen soon.
people are acting as if the future is now when it's probably hundreds of years off yet. Cutting off their genitals for it, and losing armies over it. And if you argue against replacing known problems with unknown problems, they call you a luddite.

 Men have a tendency to anthropomorphize all kinds of objects. Computers and electronics have a place in war (i.e. Punching some numbers and get some motors to sight your arty perfectly and in seconds, or having fast rocket perfectly on target from miles away, or in your factories) but it won't be human shaped steel.

 A swarm of tiny autonomous rotor craft is cheap, replaceable, and does not need to be all that intelligent.  FPV drones (operated by soldiers) are currently taking over the Ukraine war.

 But Gundams can fight equally well on Earth OR in space!!

 Remember the movie surrogates? The military built combat sleeves that soldiers remote piloted.
