> Possibly, autonomous weapons like chemical weapons won't be important to victory, or like most biological weapons (AFAIK) they won't be cost-effective. But it's hard to imagine a human defeating a bot in a shootout; consider human stock market traders who try to compete with flash trading computers, for example. In fact, I wonder if some of the tech is the same for optimizing decision speed and accuracy.

The only way for human adversaries to fight autonomous weapons would be with brute, lethal force (nuclear/neutron weapons). It ends poorly for all involved.
