Do you think Kim Jong Un would love to have his own killer robot army that would patrol the streets (and houses) and, ahem, terminate any pesky thought-criminals?
Of course he would, just like any other rulers. So the problem here is that the organizations Musk & co are asking to ban "autonomous weapons" are precisely the ones that want to have them the most. Do you think governments might just go ahead and build robot armies for themselves as soon as they can?
What about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_%28robot%29 -- "developed by the American robotics company Boston Dynamics, with funding and oversight from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)" -- Defense? Search and rescue? -Search, definitely, but rescue? -Not so much..
