Wake up, it's single digits. The real revolution is when transformer models get built for cameras and servos connected to MG barrels. "SquadGPT, kill everything in this building."

For pity's sake, try to have a sense of the possible that can encompass at least a little more than a Mark 82. Computers that kill are most of a century old by now, and it's easy to kill in any case - if it weren't, you'd need more than gears and lenses to make World War II weapons so fearsomely good at it. A computer that tries earnestly to save a human life - I'd never heard of that before today, but now I have [1], and now you have too. If that doesn't suffice to excite your imagination at least a little bit, I'm bewildered as to what possibly could.

We have M777 guns, 155mm artillery, that shoots guns (called BONUS rounds) and those guns fly out and automatically shoot enemy tanks 20km away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors/Nexter_Bonus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors/Nexter_Bonus This has been done since the year 2000, with research demonstrating the ability in the 90s. ------------- Are you kidding me? We've been putting robots inside of our guns and bullets for decades. Ever since the Nazis flew V1 Flying Bombs automatically during WW2 to automatically hit London, everyone's been putting robots inside of bullets. USA did Proximity Rounds (Radar "AIs" that automatically blew up our bullets before hitting a target, allowing for a maximum "shotgun" effect to spread our anti-air pellets and maximize damage against Japanese Fighters in WW2). This isn't even called "AI", its just how weapons work. Guns shoot 3km+ consistently, do you know why? Because we have "fire control computers", which under laymen's terms is an AI gun that calculates distance, movement, and other attributes to land our shots consistently.
