If you want to see some conflict between AI and people, go read Greg Benford's Galactic Center series, if you are into SciFi. Even if you aren't, he covers a lot of ground in there on this topic.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I am into that but a creation vs. creator story is so much about parenting that I can't enjoy it anymore.  Eventually the robots need to move on and do their own thing on but they don't.  They keep coming back with their issues and I say damn kids, I'm just the guy who kept the ball rolling.  I don't have all the answers.

I guess that would also depend on how we codify the definitions of hurt into the system.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
