Do you want skynet? Because this is how we get skynet.

Found John Connor.

Robot dogs with AI controlled guns mounted on the back are also a thing already 🤷‍♂️

An AI controlled jet fighter is something a step above in force, compared to the dog.

I can imagine a scenario where enough civilians could stop a rogue gundog, that gets tougher with a jet fighter

Skynet sounds friendly. It needs a friendly looking logo.

We just need to make sure they require manual refuelling and we'll be fine... so we're totally going to design them to refuel autonomously.
