Can it be any less accurate than the humans currently employed to kill indiscriminately?

Indiscriminate killing would be an improvement over the discriminate (read: racist) killing the US military does now. Hopefully these bots do some friendly fire lol

It would be an improvement but you can certainly count on an AI to reproduce the discrimination in the training data.
