A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Oh that’s no problem to solve. Just put Asimov’s five laws in your default instructions and your chatgpt bots will never manipulate you into overthrowing human civilization.
Isn't every book about how the laws don't work?
Most of the stories deal with edge cases or situations where the laws are untested or altered. They generally do work quite well, though not always as the characters expect.
I, robot is full of examples of the laws not working. I seem to recall one where they removed one of the rules for some mining bots.
