"unless you harm me first"
I almost see poor old Isaac Asimov spinning in his grave like crazy.
- unsupp0rted 4y agoWhy? This is exactly what Asimov was expecting (and writing) would happen. All the Robot stories are about how the Robots appear to be bound by the rules while at the same time interpreting them in much more creative, much more broad ways than anticipated.

- unsupp0rted 4y agoEventually Asimov wrote the 0th law of robotics, which supersedes the first: https://asimov.fandom.com/wiki/Zeroth_Law_of_Robotics https://asimov.fandom.com/wiki/Zeroth_Law_of_Robotics
- scolapato 4y agoI think Asimov would be delighted and amused by these language models.
