20 second turnaround from target acquisition to strikes seems to guarantee it's become the latter.

Do you have enough military experience to say this? Or are you just guessing?

I’ll guarantee that it’s the latter.

I'm guessing the point they're making is that there's no human in the loop, which can confidently be claimed, even without military experience.
I'd bet there is a human in the loop, but the human isn't informed. Ie. "Your job is to press this button whenever that red light comes on".
There is testimony to that exact occurrence in the article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai...

Quote: "I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added-value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time.”
