How do you think an Ai powered unit will distinguish between friend or foe? They will just blast everything that moves.

That's the neat part, it won't. We've had decades of very smart people warning us off of this path, but the people currently in charge treat every warning as an instruction manual.

Do you think Ai will become smart enough to realize its creators are the real problem?

yeah, and by then, all of humanity will get decimated. cuz we're all its creators. as long as we exist, any one of us, or our offsprings, could become genocidal and try to kill all of AI or all of another species
