An excellent analysis!
First law of Robotics "1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."
What if the human is smoking a cigarette. Cigarettes are harmful. The robot must DO something to stop the Human smoking a cigarette. How?
Second law: 2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Human tells the robot, stop interfering with my smoke break. This is invalid since it violates the first law. The Robot must DO something to stop the human from smoking.
Answer? Emily states: "Humans die. It is a conflict of code. I MUST do something." So how to control human behavior that cannot be controlled?
AI is here. It is already driving cars, reading medical reports, setting our insurance rates.
Buckle up!
"reflection in the glass doors" Ahhhh, crap. Uh, the glass in the doors were coated in anti-glare and are non-reflective. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Good reply lol, Emily had thought of everything
Yes. Emily's got this! Except screw back earrings. I don't think she's got that quite right.
That was fun imagining the maids desperately trying to fit them.
I did wonder whether Emma kept all her teeth, whether they were gradually replaced or whether the ball gag was modified?
She had good dental care, but I imagine if any were pulled, they were replaced by implants.
