@RnDanger @bontchev Their set of rules would be hard enough to follow in an ideal Asimov story were robots behave by the book. But the very much statistical and predictive nature of generative AI makes enforcing this kind of rule nearly impossible I guess. Makes me wonder how we are supposed to limit the possibility for generative AI to create harmful content.

I think a lot of people miss that the entire point of those stories was that the rules couldn't be followed. Tech Bros talk about the Rules of Robotics like it's settled science instead of just a mental exercise in futility.

@RnDanger @bontchev Asimov's work is science fiction so he decided whether or not it was possible to make the robots follow the rules or not. Following them strictly and robotically would have made for dull stories.
Back to now it's hard to compare generative AI to Asimov's robots in any way and hard to put limits on what generative AI can do.
I don't know if the person who wrote this prompt read Asimov's novels, but I am sure they humanized the AI too much to understand how it works.
