The ability to automate and make 'good quality' content is decisive in the information space. The world is greatly moved by photos and video of horrible things, and if that can be faked with high fidelity it will make a huge difference. People won't have time for the truth - the 'video' of 'whatever' will make it's impact.
The drone war in Ukraine is completely different from that in Afghanistan. The Baryaktar drones are almost useless, have an average lifespan of just a few weeks. They're almost all destroyed and don't play an important role. FYI many of the Baryaktar videos we saw over the months were released over time, as the units were mostly destroyed. Russia has no equivalent. Small drones are used for recon, target acquisition, dropping small munitions, which is nothing like Afghanistan. And the scale of it as well. We're seeing the firs 'small drone war at scale'.
I suggest China, being China, will try it at real scale, and during the invasion of Taiwan I expect to see swarms of thousands of drones on the offence - overwhelming numbers.
Everyone is aware that 'nuclear weapons exist' and also that AI works to varying degrees of autonomy.
