We've been letting other humans decide since the dawn of time, and look how that's turned out. Maybe we should let the robots have a chance.

If you program an AI drone to recognize ambulances and medics and forbid them from blowing them up, then you can be sure that they will never intentionally blow them up. That alone makes them superior to having a Mk. I Human holding the trigger, IMO.

The sad part is that the AI might be more trustworthy than the humans being in control.
Eventually maybe. But not for the initial period where the tech is good enough to be extremely deadly but not smart enough to realize that often being deadly is the stupider choice.
