Autonomous systems bring with them the kind of automatisms that should be tempered by human common sense. See "Doctor Strangelove" or the story of Stanislav Petrov for some more cold-war era examples of what could happen when you take the human out of the equation and have machines run the show.
And it's not AI killbots or death. Ukraine has been doing quite well in defending against the Russian war of aggression with human-controlled weaponry. Even if it were, you can recognize that what you're doing is bad and still decide to follow through because the alternatives are worse.
But there are people who think these AI weapons are a good idea and work hard to bring them into existence. Not as a last-ditch measure but as the future of military technology. And they should go read some Dick.
