The capacity for computers to make errors has now far exceeded that of tequila and handguns.

I'm sorry. This is so terrible that humor is the only recourse left to me. We were once afraid of AI drones with guns murdering the wrong people, but now we have an AI that is being used to plan a systematic bombing campaign. Human pilots and all the associated support personal are its tools and liberal quotas have been set on how many of the wrong people are permissible for each strike to hit. Yet again, reality has surpassed science fiction nightmare.

What the civilian mind can imagine is a mere trivial percentage of what the military can turn into reality.
