Does that mean my girlfriend is a robot?
has she ever harmed a human being, or let a human being become harmed due to inaction?
does she obey orders given by humans that do not lead to humans getting harmed?
does she protect her own existence, unless it would cause harm to human beings?
if you answered "yes" to all of the above, she seems to follows asimovs laws of robotics and thus might be a robot, if you answered "no" to any of the questions:
do you really think companies would put safety meassures into products unless they are forced to?!
Also the 3 laws were specifically designed to have lots of loopholes, otherwise the stories wouldn't exist
Just test whether she can harm someone by finding someone who will anger her to such an extent that she will hit them, proving she is no robot.
Small edit because I realized it's not exactly obvious:
This is a reference to a certain chapter in "I, Robot".
A sibling can probably do it easily.
What about some ethereal law... like.... what if you took the first law one more step... we could call it the zeroth law!
Well, she wouldn't harm me, she takes orders from me :3, and she does protect her own existence.
Throw her in a lake and see if she sinks. /$
I already know she's a witch
