You have a valid point. But as a person who has worked in industrial automation, and also the military, yeah automatic murder is probably 50x easier than preventing human bodily harm. Just having machinery around people is inherently dangerous. But aside from complex concepts, The mine for example, is potentially one of the first Automated Killing devices, and is notoriously good at it. Integrating technology into simple killing devices isn't very difficult compared to keeping people safe from harm. And while I agree that there are plenty of good ways to stop automated killing devices, you have to make big sacrifices to stop them, and that's another point to be made about this unique situation. You either have to outpace your opponents technology, or be willing to fight without some or all of your own, because when you start introducing stuff like what you listed above, you can no longer use your own systems of defense, which then makes you vulnerable to other conventional forms of attack, giving the advantage to the technologically superior team. In my opinion 'Terminator' might not be 10 years away, but automated killing devices are already in the field, and they aren't being reported on because they are classified. You would not believe the money and effort that goes into recovery of physical assets (working and destroyed) that are in theatre.
