Human emotions keep getting in the way, where as autonomous units simply hunt and kill the human targets. However, at a certain point, what if the A.I. decides to attack all humans?

When RoboCop was released in 1987, people got to see an intense depiction of a severely injured man that was revived and rebuilt into a robotic body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#Plot

The movie was set in Detroit but was mostly filmed in Dallas. https://www.dallasfilmcommission.com/robocop-dallas-locations-then-now , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#Filming , https://www.movie-locations.com/movies/r/Robocop-1987.php , http://www.thennowmovielocations.com/2019/05/robocop-1987.html

Then in 2016, Dallas became the first city to use robotics to kill a person.

"Peter Singer, a strategist and senior fellow at the New America Foundation who writes about the technology of warfare, said he believed this was a first. “There may be some story that comes along, but I’d think I’d have heard of it,” he said.

Others concurred. “As far as I know, it appears to be the first intentional use of a lethally armed robot by the police in the United States,” said Elizabeth Joh, law professor at the University of California at Davis." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/08/police-bomb-robot-explosive-killed-suspect-dallas

Eventually, fully autonomous robotics would be used in similar situations.

Original Top Gun director Tony Scott wanted Top Gun: Maverick to focus on drone warfare...

https://screenrant.com/top-gun-2-original-tony-scott-drone-sequel-plot

What if some of the drones aren't all earth created technology?

Top+Gun 2 could have gone into the mystery of the Tic-Tac like drones, but UFOs just aren't part of the TG story-line. That wasn't to be, so if one wants to see a depiction of AI run drones, it's best to watch OBLIVION.

So while Oblivion is a futuristic Sci-Fi, ET-AI desolation movie heavily featuring drones, actual contemporary pilots have encountered what might be a form of very advanced drone technology.

Odyssey 5, Oblivion and Clones...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey_5 , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318236 ,

https://variety.com/2002/tv/reviews/odyssey-5-1200547671 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIxRTcFaxTg

https://www.cancelledscifi.com/2019/07/06/sci-fi-tv-genre-gems-odyssey-5-2002 , https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXvLDaGKTk6s3LcZQobMNag/videos

"The story follows six people on a routine flight of the space shuttle Odyssey, on August 7, 2007: four astronauts, a scientist, and a television news reporter. During the flight, the Earth rapidly dissolves into a fiery ball and implodes. Control of the Odyssey is momentarily lost, and one astronaut is killed. The remaining five crew members resign themselves to death, but an inorganic being called the Seeker rescues them. The Seeker tells them that fifty other worlds have been destroyed in the same way as Earth, and the Seeker has always arrived too late to observe it; this is the first time he has found survivors. He offers to send them five years into the past (to 2002, the year the series aired), so that they can prevent the disaster. He sends only their consciousnesses back, because physical time travel is impossible. The mission commander learns a codeword associated with the disaster: Leviathan.

The villains are a race of disembodied artificial intelligences known as "Sentients". These AIs are trying to learn about humanity through artificial humanoid robots called "Synthetics", which are nearly indistinguishable from humans. Another group of Synthetics are discovered to be from Mars. In the original timeline, a previous race of Synthetics created by humanity was destroyed by a secret US government agency. Whether the destruction of the Earth was retaliation for this act by the Sentients is never revealed..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey_5#Plot

http://retrophaseshift.com/2015/04/27/what-could-have-been-odyssey-5-season-2

So is the non physical time+travel concept in O5 a little similar to that in the Quantum_Leap TV series?

"In the near future, physicist Dr.+Sam+Beckett (Bakula) theorized that time-travel within one's own lifetime is possible, and obtains government support to build his project "Quantum Leap". Some years later, the government threatens to pull funding, as no progress has been made, and Sam decides to test the project accelerator by himself to save the project before anyone can stop him. He is thrown back in time, and on gaining consciousness, finds that while he physically exists in the past, he appears to everyone else as a person into whom he had "leapt", and further has partial amnesia related to his own identity. A hologram of his friend, Admiral Al Calavicci (Stockwell), appears, visible and audible only to Sam, and helps to explain to Sam that he must correct something that went wrong in the past, aided with the resources of the project's supercomputer Ziggy (voiced by Pratt), as once that is corrected, he should be able to leap back to the present. Despite successfully correcting the past, Sam continues to leap randomly to another place and time within the second half of the 20th century, "putting right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Leap#Premise

The movie, Oblivion has a similar theme with O5 in that a nefarious A.I. has ruined the earth by waging war.

"By March 14, 2077, Jack Harper and Victoria "Vika" Olsen are among the few humans left on Earth. Sixty years earlier, a race of alien scavengers destroyed the Moon and invaded Earth; humanity won the war, but nuclear weapons and the loss of the Moon left most of the planet uninhabitable. With Vika as his communications officer, Jack serves as "Tech 49", repairing the combat drones that hunt the remaining scavengers and guard the "hydrorig" generators converting seawater into fusion energy. Led by mission director Sally from aboard the "Tet" space station orbiting Earth, they will soon leave for humanity's new home on Titan. Although their memories have been wiped, Jack has recurring dreams of a life before the war with an unknown woman.

Exploring the ruins of the New York Public Library, Jack narrowly escapes a scavenger ambush. After a hydrorig is destroyed, he discovers the scavengers are using the Empire State Building's antenna to transmit coordinates to outer space. After disabling the transmitter, he visits his secret cabin filled with mementos from Earth's past. An unknown object crash-lands at the transmitted coordinates; in the wreckage, Jack finds five humans in stasis chambers, including the woman from his dreams. Drones kill the hibernating humans, but Jack protects the woman and brings her to his base. He and Vika revive the woman and learn her name is Julia, realizing she was in stasis aboard her ship Odyssey since before the war.

Jack and Julia return to the crash site and recover Odyssey's flight recorder, but are captured by scavengers and taken to Raven Rock Mountain Complex. Their leader, Malcolm Beech, reveals that the scavengers are humans, disguised to stay hidden from the drones. Another drone attacks, and Beech releases Jack and Julia to discover the truth in the "radiation zone". Julia reveals she is Jack's wife, triggering his memories of proposing to her at the Empire State Building.

Vika sends a craft to retrieve Jack and Julia, but is heartbroken to see them reunited. She alerts Sally, who activates a drone that kills Vika before Julia destroys it. Jack and Julia escape in his craft and destroy the drones pursuing them, but are forced to eject over the radiation zone. Another technician, "Tech 52" – revealed to be a clone of Jack – arrives to repair the drones. Jack incapacitates him, but Julia is shot, and Jack flies to his clone's base for medical supplies, tricking a clone of Vika into believing he is "her" version of Jack. He takes Julia to his cabin, where she recuperates and they re-consummate their marriage.

They return to the scavenger base, and Beech explains that the Tet is an alien artificial intelligence: determined to acquire Earth's resources and wipe out humanity, it destroyed the Moon and invaded Earth with an army of drones and Jack's clones; humanity's victory and escape to Titan is a Tet fiction. Jack reprograms a captured drone to sabotage the Tet, but more drones attack the base, leaving Beech gravely injured and the captured drone damaged beyond repair.

Jack volunteers to deliver Julia to the Tet, allowing him to infiltrate the space station and detonate Odyssey's nuclear fuel cells. En route, Jack learns the truth from Odyssey's flight recorder: he was the commander of a NASA mission to explore Titan, with Vika as his co-pilot, Julia as a crew member, and Sally as their mission director on Earth. After their ship Odyssey was diverted to investigate the Tet, Jack jettisoned the sleep module, allowing Julia and the hibernating crew to eventually return to Earth, while he and Vika were captured and cloned..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)#Plot

Everything GREAT About Oblivion! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quAQsBs66Sk , https://www.youtube.com/c/CinemaWins/videos

The movie, Moon has a multi-cloning component as does the movie, Oblivion.

"In the near future,^[a] Lunar Industries has made a fortune after an oil crisis by building Sarang Station, a facility on the far side of the Moon to mine the alternative fuel helium-3 from lunar soil, which is rich in the material. The facility is highly automated, requiring only a single human to maintain operations, oversee the harvesters, and launch canisters bound for Earth containing the extracted helium-3. Sam Bell nears the end of his three-year work contract at Sarang Station. Chronic communication problems have disabled his live feed from Earth and limit him to occasional recorded messages from his wife Tess, who was pregnant with their daughter Eve when he left. His only companion is an artificial intelligence named GERTY, who assists with the base's automation and provides comfort for him.

Two weeks before his return to Earth, Sam begins to suffer from hallucinations of a teenage girl and a bearded, disheveled man. One such image distracts him while he is out recovering a helium-3 canister from a harvester, causing him to crash his lunar rover into the harvester. Rapidly losing cabin air from the crash, Sam falls unconscious.

Sam awakes in the base infirmary with no memory of the accident. He overhears GERTY having what appears to be a live chat with Lunar Industries management. Lunar Industries then orders Sam to remain on base and informs him that a rescue team will arrive to repair the harvester. Suspicious, Sam manufactures a fake problem to persuade GERTY to let him outside. He travels to the crashed rover, where he finds his unconscious doppelgänger. He brings the double back to the base and tends to his injuries. The two Sams start to wonder if one is a clone of the other. After a heated argument and physical altercation, GERTY reveals that they are both clones of the original Sam Bell. GERTY activated the newest clone after the rover crash and convinced him that he was at the beginning of his three-year contract. GERTY confirms his memories of his wife and daughter are implanted.

The two Sams search the area, finding a communications substation beyond the facility's perimeter which has been interfering with the live feed from Earth. GERTY helps the older Sam access the recorded logs of past Sam clones, showing them all falling ill as their contract expires. Later, the older Sam discovers a secret vault containing hundreds of hibernating clones. They determine that Lunar Industries is unethically using clones of the original Sam Bell to avoid the cost of training and transporting new astronauts, as well as deliberately jamming the live feed in order to prevent the clones from contacting Earth; clones who believe they're entering the final hibernation at the end of their contract just before their final return to Earth are in fact incinerated. The older Sam clone drives past the interference radius in a second rover and tries to call Tess on Earth. He instead makes contact with Eve, now 15 years old, who says Tess died "some years ago". He hangs up when Eve tells her father (offscreen, identified as "Original Sam" in closed captioning) that someone is calling regarding Tess. After he returns, the older Sam begins displaying the same symptoms as previous clones as they begin to deteriorate..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_(2009_film)#Plot
