Which was what I was thinking all along. especially since there's two
lines of argumentation used:

1. AI is able to respond with a much higher speed than humans

2. AI lacks the flexibility of a human pilot

So, why not combine the two, have a human pilot, assisted by massive
amounts of AI. If all works, then maybe he just rides the backseat. But
when drtermining whether a weapon should be fired on a suspect target
(but not 100%^ identified hostile), when dealing with unexpected
circumstances, etc etc, it's useful to have the human there.

Besides, is it truly politically acceptable NOT to have a human in the
loop of a weapon of (mass?) destruction? Do you think it will BECOME
acceptable?

Cheers,
