If the programmer knew that, and built this robot that way, then he would be responsible for its actions, not the robot.To whom would he be responsible? The analogy is inaccurate. The human is the creator god in the analogy, so he should be the only human. Their are no children for the robot to kill, or parents of those children to demand accountability.
Quote:There's no way around the basic fact that saying "Obey me or else, because I am more powerful than you are" is immoral behavior by any being, even your concept of God.
Judging by the meat aisle or insecticide aisle in the local store, that's what we humans do with other species. So, by your own standards, we're immoral. Why should we not then be judged?
