"Robots want to protect and obey humans in the same way that humans like sugar and kittens and want to avoid shit and boredom."
Google "copraphilia". Also, I know humans who dislike sugar and kittens. And people have wildly different definitions of "boredom" and responses to same.
In short, those "Human Laws" aren't actually natural laws at all, but preferences based partially on social norms and training. Now, assume you could implant neural structures into people's brains so that everyone MUST love sugar, and have the exact same boredom response, personal preferences be damned. Would that be ethical?
