RE: He's right, though
Did you watch that movie?
Well, sort of. My brain shut down after I saw where it was headed.
Whatever the reasons, the director and producer turned it into a movie about car chases and explosions. Asimov would be disgusted.
In the original, Asimov set up the famous "three rules of robotics", and the entire set of stories were ultimately variations on the theme of self-determination: how could a being constrained by the three laws ultimately achieve true personhood?
Do you honestly think there was the tiniest shred of that in the movie?
