Because for some old timers this looks incredibly realistic! Give'em a break.
One scary thing I learned lately is while western civilization has a pretty firm stance on AI kill-bots that decide when to pull the trigger, China has no such sanctions and has been building full autonomous killer robots that get to decide on their own who to kill. What's scarier is that they are on the third of fourth generation of this tech and are beginning to sell the old stuff to less than desirable countries/dictatorships.

I'm guessing many old timers and young alike might think this is real if you have never heard of Corridor Digital and know what they do. Also, I'm sure many don't know what CGI stands for...Computer Generated Imagery, as in special effects.
"Despite the online confusion, Corridor clarified that the video was never meant to be interpreted as "real", and that they would "like for people to be able to see the original", in response to one of the many unattributed viral versions online."
That was great the ending was too human eh grab the dog and run lmao
There's just one error in your logic. "Properly programmed" are two words you might want to ponder. And if you're suggesting that video is fake, and they can do some really good fakes now a days, is there anything in particular that suggests to you that this is all fake? Maybe you've heard of Boston Dynamics? https://www.bostondynamics.com/ Anything we're allowed to see, you can bet the Military is about 5 to 10 years out from that.

Well aware of the Boston Dynamics robot, the exact same robot that was the inspiration for the video. It is faked, because that is what Corridor Digital does. Watch some of their other videos, they're extremely good at what they do.
As for the 'properly programmed', yup. So long as it was rigorously tested, bug fixed and tested again, I'd trust my life to a machine. Tens of thousands do everyday whenever they board an airplane, as soon as control systems became fly by wire, computers are the real pilots. This pretty well applies to any application where a computer would be tasked with life and death decisions, doesn't matter what it's doing so long as it does it as good if not better than a human does. Especially if we're talking futuristic police/military robots. A machine would never shoot someone because of implicit bias towards certain ethnic groups for example.
It's not a suggestion. Here's the video from the Corridor Digital second channel, Corridor Crew, where they talk about and show some of the making of the first video.

Not what I'm getting at. Think "nefariously" programed. Like maybe to guard a re-education camp like the ones currently operating under man power right now in China. That video may very well be faked. But don't kid yourself. Their much more evolved than what you're allowed to see, and moving forward all the time.
