Unironically, I think this is one of the "main benefits" that the disconnected people in places of power seems to covet. They won't have a human operator that will do their dirty jobs and potentially leaks the truth out of guilt.

I'm bearish on 'ai war' but this sounds like a huge positive if it comes to fruition because war would become more about two sides trying to kill each each sides leaders, instead of these leaders sending masses of doe eyed young people off to die for them.

If politicians had real skin in the game there'd be far less war.

That's already being done. Saddam Hussein was quickly killed, and what followed? Same goes for Ghaddaffi. Israel has killed a lot of leaders and is clearly not satisfied with having done that.

What they want is border and population control that involves very few ordinary citizens, in large part in expectation of something like hundreds of millions of climate refugees. After having spent a couple of years killing and maiming poor people with almost nowhere to go you tend to need quite a bit of medical care and usually join the anti-war movement regardless if you got a college degree out of it or not.

I find it likely we'll see gun mounted robodog patrols along occidental borders within ten years from now, after having tested it on populations elsewhere.
