Militaries are rushing to replace human soldiers with AI-powered robots. That will be disastrous, experts warn.

Ok.....let'ssay this goes EXACTLY as planned. Nothing wrong. No mistakes.
So these robots are marching towards a war in a formation of 50,000 robots.
And then the enemy releases their army of 50,000 robots.
They both shoot each other. Now there's 100,000 broken robots in a field. Ok, now what? What did that accomplish?
And remember, that's BEST case scenario. Where no robot malfunctions. No AI is fed garbage data. No robots are hacked. And every robot has a 1:1 kill ratio.
There's a LOT more that can go wrong, but my main question is, how do robots fighting robots in a war do anything at all?
You could replace "robots" with humans and make the same argument. 100,000 dead men in a field doesn't accomplish anything. The point is to have humans/robots left over after the fight to impose your will
