I can only imagine the rampant paranoia that would spread if people were made aware that telepaths were all around them in plain sight.
The panic has the potential to be just as harmful.
Additionally, a deadly, automated army combined with invasive, world-wide mutant tracking technology would be way too easy for our overlords to abuse.
We'd likely see that same technology used against us the near future after they've completed their original mission.
However if some highly-efficient, incorruptible, robotic titans fell from the sky and proceeded to eliminate all telepaths and leave following the completion of their objective...? Well, I couldn't complain.
