I think the real reason to hope for some form of prohibition (Geneva Convention) is that Terminators nominally make warfare more palatable than nukes, cruise missiles, or tanks & artillery. Those are obviously untargeted and make for "riveting video" and terrified populations (useful for other purposes of course).
Automated Safety Enforcement Drones are selective and only issue quick justice to the baddies who stand in the way of freedom! If you can't shame leaders based on their prior agreements civil society doesn't have much else to do.
Really, think about what happens when these tools of warfare return home for civilian use, because if they can, they will.

Remote fire doesn’t seem that much closer than remote kill authorisations.
