I've low-key started to think the only reason we haven't seen autonomous hunter-killer drones yet is that nobody's willing to break the seal, and I'm scared for what happens when somebody finally does.

My dear stranger, those already exist, and have been used in war to terminate key individuals.

We are living the dream.

Point me towards systems that don't have a human in the loop, particularly any that utilize fully-autonomous swarms, and I'll agree. Scary as the former are, there's a world of difference between a handful of FPV suicide drones, and a cloud of HL2-Manhack-esque things operating on face-recogniton-guided autopilot.

Oh, that's what you mean... yeah, there are humans behind, but potato potato, swap one brain for another... anyway it is a killing machine that can get you anywhere in the planet.
