They train us to drop fire on people but won't let us write "fuck" on the side of an airplane because it is obscene. (Col. Kurtz - Apocalypse Now)

Which, when you unpack it, is even more interesting. If you do embrace the emotional aspect of war you end up with situations like the my lai massacre. Does AI have the ability to prevent war crimes while engaging in "legal" killings feels like an interesting philosophical question.






Stopping war crimes does not require AI to be allowed to kill people. I don't understand that equation.
