This is the exact attitude that lead to a chat bot being used to identify a school for girls as a valid target.

The chatbot cannot be held responsible.

Whoever is using chatbots for selecting targets is incompetent and should likely face war crime charges.

Has it been stated authoritatively somewhere that this was an AI-driven mistake?

There are myrid ways that mistake could have been made that don't require AI. These kinds of mistakes were certainly made by all kinds of combatants in the pre-AI era.

What attitude exactly are you talking about? The one that says that if you’re going to morally sell out it would be better if you at least tried not to kill children?
