    Not OP, but if you can’t convince a person to kill another person then you shouldn’t be able to kill them anyways.

    There are points in historical conflicts, from revolutions to wars, when the very people you picked to fight for your side think “are we the baddies” and just stop fighting. This generally leads to less deaths and sometimes a more democratic outcome.

    If you can just get a drone to keep killing when any reasonable person would surrender you’re empowering authoritarianism and tyranny.

      Take WWI Christmas when everyone got out of the trenches and played some football (no not American foot touches the ball 3x a game)

      It almost ended the war

        Yes the humanity factor is vital

        Imagine the horrid destructive cold force of automated genocide, it can not be met by anything other than the same or worse and at that point we are truly doomed

        Because there will then be no one that can prevent it anymore

        It must be met with worse opposition than biological warfare did after wwI, hopefully before tragedy
