AI has been used in wars and weapons for decades. I don't understand why people think it's anything new. Also, recent conflics (as you mention them) would have happened with or without advanced AI weaponry. In some instances they are started by actors that don't have access to AI.

It's because AI is too broad of a term to put onto this.

Yes, some version of AI has existed, but nothing like we see today.

I think reading about Palintir makes the differences obvious.
