which is more frightening.

Oh, the robot did it. Great, like that is going to make it all okay. Fuck, drones have already allowed those in charge to excuse themselves from bad choices, now who are we going to blame? The programmer or the robot? I guess whomever ever has the least protection under the law, the robot certainly won't care

We don't have any military autonomous drones... there is pilot pulling the trigger... so I don't understand your point.

This has been happening since thousands of years before drones came along. Humans are used since the beginning of time..
