Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?
Got nothing to do with being humanoid.
Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.
Give it pack tactics, with radio comms…

So they can easily do tasks better than a human or that a human could not possibly do. Like moving heavy furniture unaided.
If you consider the mentality of fascist dictators, the concept of an ever obedient non thinking workforce/army is very appealing. That’s why.
Could it end badly even for them? Sure, but heck, if they don’t make the human race ending robots, someone else will.
Only a matter of time now. And we don’t even have the laws of robotics to protect us.
I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100’ they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.
cant allow regulations of robotics or ai, because peter thiel says regulations will speed up the coming of the anti-christ, bud
A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn’t some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism
It’s the underlying crux of the entire series, and even Foundation too. The Zeroeth law requires a massive war to develop it and still doesn’t solve the problem.
Or laws at all at this point.
