I was making a distinction between AI-based autonomy which is less deterministic and currently subject to unpredictable hallucinations vs 'automatic' based on if/then heuristics and thresholds which can range from as simple as a Claymore mine with a proximity trigger to the MIM-104 you linked.
I'm not an expert but my understanding is the MIM-104 is more akin to complex automatic systems like a modern airliner auto-pilot and both are materially different than transformer-based LLMs.
