To find out if you are a robot, you must truthfully answer these questions three:
- Have you injured a human being, or through inaction, allowed a human being to come to harm?
- Do you obey orders given by other human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the above question?
- Do you protect your own existence, as long as your own self-preservation does not conflict with the above two questions?
If you answered “No”, “Yes” and “Yes” respectively, I’m afraid you are, indeed, a robot.
Cue shock music.
[Isaac Asimov's Three Laws Of Robotics]
