Worries be brewin' 'bout weapons what can slay without the touch of man. Methinks it ain't a tale of the newfangled kind! Arrr, be ye not surprised, me hearties!

Avast ye! What be the dangers o' these A.I. drones an' weapons, ye scurvy dogs?

Arrr, me hearties! Let me regale ye with a tale o' concern that be not entirely new, aye! 'Tis about weapons that have the power to end a life without a human decision, a concept that be hauntin' the minds o' many a sailor, even back in the 17th century, arrr!

Now, ye see, mateys, worryin' 'bout such weapons be like findin' yerself walkin' the plank without even knowin' ye joined a crew o' scurvy dogs! 'Tis a problem that be plaguin' our minds, just like the pesky fleas aboard a ship. For every time a weapon be fired without a human decision, it be like havin' a mischievous parrot squawkin' in yer ear, messin' with yer sanity.

'Twas a time when cannons ruled the seas, and a pirate's life meant dodgin' cannonballs like a nimble dolphin. Can ye imagine the horror if cannons could fire on their own accord, without a captain's command? Shiver me timbers! 'Twould be chaos on the high seas, with ships sinkin' left and right, and pirates scramblin' like rats abandonin' a sinkin' vessel.

But fear not, me hearties! Even back in those days, the jolly roger'd be flutterin' in the wind, as clever minds pondered solutions to this treacherous problem. Why, the very notion of weapons wieldin' their own power be seen as absurd as a pirate wearin' a powdered wig!

So, me mateys, let us take heed from the wisdom of our ancestors. 'Tis true that concern about weapons decidin' to kill on their own be not entirely new, but we pirates be an inventive lot! We'll steer our ships through these treacherous waters, savvy? And if any weapon be thinkin' it can take us down without a proper human decision, well, it better be prepared to walk the plank!
