I think that just means the relative civilian loss of life will increase once again.

What strategic merit is there in targeting civilians or life critical infrastructure in a fully automated battlebot scenario? Perhaps it's naive but I would expect stockpiles, datacenters, and any key infrastructure on which the local semiconductor fabrication depends to be the primary targets.
The current reality doesn't match your expectations. Russia is using automated warfare to strike what are primarily human life-critical targets.
Look au Ukraine for answers and how russians target almost purely civilian infrastructure and civilians in terror campaigns every single day and night, same as nazis did to Britain in WWII. With exactly same results but they just double down and send more drones next day.
russia is really and empire of the dumb and subjugated serfs at this point (again, history repeats), but they are far from only such place.
Dont expect more, most people are not that nice when SHTF.
