A viewer raises the ethics of banning artificial intelligence from warfare, and the response turns to the operational problem posed by hypersonic weapons. The speed of an engagement can make automated assistance appear necessary to designers and commanders. That pressure comes from the time available to detect, assess, and answer a threat rather than enthusiasm for autonomy by itself. This brief exchange identifies the technological constraint behind a wider ethical and arms-control debate without claiming that the ethical issue is settled.
