Our political "uni-party" has funded both sides of EVERY war our country's been involved in. These political and military operatives don't mind throwing our young people into battle where they'll be riddled with bullet holes or have their appendages blown-off with explosives. The political officials themselves make loads of money by ramping up the military-industrial complex. War's a gigantic money-laundering operation, with the added benefit (in their eyes) of culling the human population. For politicians without conscience...THAT'S what "war is good for."
So much to figure out about AI. I wonder what it will be like when humans are so dependent on it that we're not creating original content and AI is high on its own supply. Will it know it? Will it have a way to request for human interaction?
Humans are already using AI instead of some other tool, like their own brain. It is part of being human to want to use labor-saving devices... and up to a point, great! Past that point, ugh. The point is where the labor-saving tool does more harm than good, and that is a judgement call. By the time AI has so much self-knowledge that it can see its own weaknesses and ask for our help, we may be ready for a new game show called "Humans vs AI... Who's More Evolved?"

You are right. When I think about war, I think about the impulse to 'win' by harming the opponent. I sometimes forget though about war as a cash cow.
