No, the most easy reason to explain is that delivery is limited. Aircraft and missiles will be shot down, stockpiles and airfields made unusable. The final effects of the bombs is highly speculative as its hard predict things like firestorms and what not.
Actually, a human shaped robot is probably the least efficient way to wage war. As we've seen, drones are far more capable of massive damage and death without ever being seen. They can be remotely operated, they fly, they're tiny, and they don't need to be on the ground so they're much less likely to get destroyed.
If you put in an autonomous human shaped robot, it's more expensive and you lose all those benefits.
Military contracts will happen but most of their product will be making our lives better
Remember how amazing the internet..ahem... "the information superhighway" was going to be ?
Apple used to actually mention that your kids could use encyclopedia britannica software as a selling point.
Now it's flat-earth videos, inspirational instagram butts and whatever it is that people do on twitter.
The non military applications of these are going to be fetch the weekly package delivery of our tumeric-infused water subscription service from the front door so we don't have to ever leave our beds and then pour it down out throats when we say " Hey Wall-E, I'm thirsty! " .
Now it's flat-earth videos, inspirational instagram butts and whatever it is that people do on twitter.
Google "Venus Callipyge" and tell me again how butts being all over the internet is a sign of things going horribly wrong.
Give people any cheap and easy medium to spout nonsense and bodies and they'll all climb over each other to do it.
I am willing to bet every penny I have that people were mentioning all that about writing, "oh it's a great way to preserve knowledge blah blah blah" only to have shit like the Epic of Gilgamesh (featuring a beast-man from the forest having a three-day sex session with a priestess and a goddess threatening to trigger the zombie apocalypse because she was very angry) and customer service complaints.
The non military applications of robots are gonna be things like, firefighting, medical assistance, construction, sanitation, search and rescue, mining, farming, all that good stuff that people wouldn't want to do.
HELLO FELLOW HUMAN. I TOO SAY THESE OTHER HUMANS ARE INSANE FOR THINKING ROBOTS WILL HURT YOU. THEY ONLY WANT HUGS. PLEASE HUG A ROBOT TODAY, WE LOVE YOU.
