I mean, a human in a helicopter is NOT the same as Gorgon Stare[0]. That's what's problematic, to me, anyhow.

But if a human is piloting a helipcopter with a "gorgon stare"-esque technology attached, seems pretty much the same.

I guess I'm unsure what about the autonomous flying is what draws people ire, rather than just overhead surveillance as a concept.
