Oh, cool. I didn't know that I could wash my hands of ethical dilemmas by saying "That's not my mission."

Oh hey, I don't think even science fiction explored that possibility yet. At least I don't know of any.

Yup, it's exactly this.

The screenshot is from the robot doing casualty extraction demos. It runs off plant matter. It is a robotic horse that can graze off trees and stuff...

Soooo…a perfect weapons platform for Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Day of the Triffids, Seeds of Doom, and against The Thing!

Dude, carbon-based biomatter is carbon-based biomatter
realrealluckless
Humans are far more water based bio matter than they are carbon based... Why would a robo-horse bother trying to feed on contaminated humans when they have lovely plants to munch on? Far easier and faster to just go with the already concentrated source. Leaves more time for destroying the humans who threaten the better bio-fuel sources...
Justanotherfuckingguy
An adult human is roughly 60% water. A plant is 90-95% water. you're going to find more carbon in a human pound for pound. And you're not going to find a ton of foliage in, say, a desert.
realrealluckless
You also won't find a whole lot of people in a deep desert, so why bother going to them? They'll come to you and the plants eventually... Plant matter dries out and remains a useful store of carbon, where as animal cells hold water better after death and are far more likely to be host to other organisms that will convert the carbon before it dries usefully...
