As ai advanced, its wartime potential recame clear.

This machine kills faster more accurately, and without moral qualms of any kind

We must use it for good

Some grew concerned

Think we should consider the dangers of giving robotic soldiers so much autonomy.

Look, these are highly skilled professional kill-bots they're going to want some level of creativity!

The nations of the world came together.

In light our desire for peace and the fact that neither of us is sure exactly how many urder-drones the other has we have agreed to outlaw autonomous machine warfare

The new systemhad its own flaws

General our precision strike system technically uses some deep learning algorithms it's forbidden

Hey at least the collateral damage will be done by good old reliable humans

When anew great war came opinions began to shift

Madame president we're losing something has to be done

If we are to preserve civilization for the future we must violate the spirit of international agreements while keeping them technically in place!

Computer scientists devised a workaround

We've taken our algorithms and introduced a ted-gate.

What's that?

That's my friend ted when an ai wants to kill asks ted ted always says yes but technically there is now human in the loop

Ctory was secured ted was wailed as the greatest general in history

Are you planning to run for office?

Yes.

Do

You

A healthcare plan?

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes/

Supporters like ted's positive attitude

Yes

age

Detractors well. We haven't seen them in a while

History will not look kindly on this period

The Years 1900-2100: A Mistake

But it will draw a valuable lesson

By unanimous consent: We hereby ban human-in- the-loop warfare.
