I think that means they could rip out your eye balls to prevent you from seeing ads.

2. a robot’s eyes must always turn red when they go evil

I'd argue that advertisements fall under "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

2. A machine must never prompt a human with options of "Yes" and "Maybe later" - they must always provide a "No" option.

I am very close to adopting the ideals of the Dune universe, post Butlerian Jihad:

"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."

Mainly because, us, humans, are very evidently too malicious and incompetent to be trusted with the task.

How about "a robot must have complete loyalty to its owner, even if this is not in the best interests of its manufacturer". Fat chance, I know.

Advertisements are now everything but visual. Sounds, smells, tastes, touch, the way the pavement vibrates as a train goes past...

I love it when posts line up like that

Can we just agree that adverisements in general is harmful? So the original first (and zeroth) law is applicable.

No he didn't. The laws were a plot device meant to have flaws.

Love the username, OP!

Law 2: no poking out eyes.

Let’s introduce musk to the zeroth law

I don't know. "Must not kill us, somehow sounds important"

And that includes offers to subscribe to Laws of Robotics Premium.

Yes, Amazon. They're still adverts, and you can still go and fucking fuck yourselves.

Luckily I have my own "robots" fighting hard to stop me from seeing ads.

A robot may not bear arms

Wait why is this mutually exclusive to the original laws? Can’t this just be law 4?

A machine must never prompt a human to tip it for serving the purpose it was created for.
