Can i say scary!? I mean imagine a world with robots carrying guns and relying on sensors and hackable software to differentiate between good and bad. /scary

Idk, if they got good enough, I’d rather have an unnerving, but consistent armed robot watching my back than some easily startled rookie with a reflexive trigger finger. Yes, its possible that it may kill me in error, but its not as if the alternatives couldn’t do the same. Personally, I’d feel safer with whichever one proves to be less error prone, which could very well be the robots.

Humans are hackable too btw, except, in our case, the word for it is propaganda.

I agree Wolf, I would have to see how well it could sense enemies rather than you. But if it worked just as well as the Sentry Gun in Team Fortress 2 i would use it! :)
