It turns out the photon torpedoes’ onboard targeting systems are sentient, now what do we do?
do they want to blow up?
It’s about 50/50.
Good, so we still have half our photon torpedoes.
We will grant their wish in the glory of battle.
The rest can go to THE FARM
The series Expeditionary Force” by Craig Alanson actually plays on this.
Spoiler to protect those who might want to read the series.

The AI Skippy, (that has befriended humanity/adopted us like puppies) upgrades the weapon systems on a captured ship. Joe Bishop, the captin of said ship, gets involved to deal with a strike by the onboard missiles. They are complete homicidal maniacs, and are actually fine with blowing up, they just want the pecking order/first dibs on targets sorted out, along with entertainment rights while waiting (karaoke night invites, from memory).
And no, after dealing with their bullshit, Joe has no issues turning the weapons into his enemies problems, very energeticly.
