Militaries depend on poverty for labor. Recruiters don’t prowl around private schools in rich neighbourhoods. They focus on poor neighbourhoods. The problem is that once general AI is achieved, and the majority of the human population become unemployable, it’s gonna be hard to have people just straight mass murder the masses and cull the human population down to what is sustainable long term… That’s where the AI killbots come in!

Not only that, but imagine the harm that can be done if killer drone swarms get into the hands of bad people, such as terrorists.

That’s the entire premise behind the US and Israel hacking Iran’s nuclear plants, they don’t want Jihadists to get access to devastating weapons because they will use them against the US too, any chance they get.
