If you want absolute adherence to a hierarchy of rules you'll quickly find it difficult - see I,Robot by Asimov for example. An LLM doesn't even apply rules, it just proceeds with weights and probabilities. To be honest, I think most people do this too.

Sure. The examples in those stories illustrate how a small set of rules can quickly come into conflict with one another. Not that the stories are real, but the interpretations of the rules are understandable and the consequences are comprehensible without too much complexity.
