They're piloted.

They already have.

Whatever war gets cheaper. That honestly might make us do it less.

Well until you get a pop-up with a timer and a live feed of an explosive drone heading toward you and a payment portal with an unskipable ad.

back when all it took was a blade, was the bloodiest time in human history. It's almost like things have been calm only because of the HIGH cost of war for the last few decades. Cheap war = more war.
