I mean, the whole purpose of the I, Robot story was to show you that the 3 laws didn't work. We had the first story on prompt injection decades ago and we just didn't realize it.

Indeed. Asimov says as much in interviews - the laws are flawed from the get go. It is the naive belief that the laws work by various scientists that creates these Sherlock-style mysteries/crimes to be solved in the first place.

I suppose the real wisdom there is that humans are doomed to fail at alignment if we create sentience and expect it only to serve us.
