Considering the resource-raping and the complete absence of Asimov's Laws, we're better off without.

The entire point of the I, Robot anthology is that the three laws don’t work.

True, because it's too easy to subvert them surreptitiously, and yet the present plan of openly seeking world domination, starting by running over schoolchildren and telling teens to commit suicide, is worse.

They don’t work when you give robots lots of control. They are a very decent guard rail compared to having none at all

They are a shit guard rail because they can never be formally specified. Again, read the stories.

Even a shit guard rail is better than no guard rail at all.

A guard rail in the middle of the road that you either have to crash into or go off-road is worse than none
