Robots are gradually getting OK at navigating warehouse floors and paved streets. Flying drones are great but if they could really be counted on to pick out targets without human intervention you know the Russians and the Ukrainians would be doing that right now for reasons of range and jamming. To be fair, ai can certainly maintain the lock on a target when jamming kicks in.
