I would trust it until someone figures a way to hack it to poison or injure in any way.

You are right Tiney, it's a computer so it can be hacked into to poison us

The joys of writing horror means worst case scenarios do come to mind fast haha.

Not all who wander are lost...

Asimov wrote some excellent robot short stories, and also was the first to come up with the three laws of robotics.

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws

Caution, I am feral.

There was a flaw in his 3 laws as he demonstrated in his story I,Robot. Also made into a film.

Do you do sci fi books Karen? Or just films?

We will eat them ;p

We only have so many cows to begin with so we can use them for food. I doubt we'll be alive to see a day with no cows eaten at all, though! Unless something really catastrophic happens.
