========================
< Chapter 35 >
No matter how advanced artificial intelligence and android technology become, war is fought by humans.
The Imperial Army’s main force is, after all, human soldiers. Artificial intelligence, androids, and drones serve only as auxiliary roles.
There are two main reasons for this.
First, the cost of manufacturing combat androids is more expensive than training human soldiers.
Second, androids cannot actively respond to the myriad variables on the battlefield.
The second reason carried the most weight. The more variables there were, the higher the probability of androids malfunctioning. This is why those who had served in the military for a long time tended not to trust androids.
‘But to put it differently, the more controlled the variables, the more efficient androids are compared to humans.’
Android efficiency emerges in environments where rules are set, and variables are controlled.
