If you've read Asimov you'd know that the rules were meaningless in the end, the whole point of the story was to show how no matter what you can bend and circumvent them. A robot can be programmed to never WILLINGLY break the laws, but you can always trick them into doing so without realizing it.

Let's make an intelligence as thoughtless in action as its creators, then shock, horror when it ignores its core principles just like its creators.

@commiewolf
I'm no sure, I think that didn't work, but "leave bowl where guy can use it" could make the work.
