Zim, I did a little excision to compress your response; I hope you are okay with that.
For a considerable number of professions, the AI is already way better than probably 1 in 1,000 humans with the equivalent specialty. Give the AI sufficient physical mobility and sensors and it is all over.
Within five years, at this pace, I'm guessing there won't be one profession in five where the human can contribue anything ... except mistakes.
Soldiers, even "special ops" soldiers, will probably among the easiest profession to replace.
I wouldn't have written this even two years ago, but I've been learning Spanish and the better AI systems can already read, write, hear, speak, translate, and creatively write at I level I doubt I can ever match.
You may call it mimicry, but I'm not so sure about that. And does it really even matter if a human can never do the same job better (under any definition of better you want to choose).
So, in anything resembling that sort of world, what is the need for a human soldier? And where do all the things like "honor" and "courage" fit in?
