Good point, but the meta will surely be played by the other side, too. They'll expect that their enemies will want to try to "obfuscate" their true operations to confuse things that have been trained to recognize and predict certain actions. That's why this probably won't actually be in use for many decades. You need something a bit closer to AGI than what exists now. Until then, you'll probably have limited use cases, maybe where movement and obstacle avoidance are autonomous but everything else is programmed or remotely controlled. You could imagine small, agile flying assassination drones which can navigate cities and houses to kill targets with short-range projectiles. Very Black Mirror-esque, but far more ethical than the current approach of Call of Duty 4-style blowing up a big patch of land from the clouds with a Hellfire missile, including all the civilians in proximity.
