Even a good ai would probably have to say no since those rules aren't ideal, but simply saying no would be a huge pr problem, and laying out the actual rules would either be extremely complicated, an even worse pr move, or both. So the best option is to have it not play

Not only are those rules not ideal, the whole book being about when the rules go wrong, it is also impossible to programming bots with rules written in natural language.

Aren't the books really more about how the rules work but humans just can't accept them so we constantly alter them to our detriment until the robots go away for a while and then take over largely to our benefit?

which, judging by this post, is also a bad pr move
