Isn't it the opposite happening already ... ?
Hardly - fully autonomous aircraft are not fit, yet, to handle combat landing for a C130 or some aspects of air superiority work.

Those are the roles I had specifically in mind with that post. Taking pictures and dropping bombs when in a complete air superiority situation is relatively easy. How many UAVs or AAVs get plinked from the ground?
