Yeah, the humans program the torpoedo to discriminate enemy ships from others, and then entrust that classifier to make autonomous kill decisions. How will autonomous drones and missiles work any differently? They're going to be precisely the same; classifiers engineered/trained by humans entrusted to make decisions to kill. They might shoot a city full of civilians, and a CAPTOR torpedo might shoot a ship full of civilians too. It's nothing new, it's more of the same brought to a wider scope than before.
