The entire damn point of the three laws is that they don't work and cause more harm then good... The paradox of the laws is the whole point!

    What paradox? I thought the rules were considered a good idea in the stories.

    They are considered a good idea yes. But the entire point is that the notion that they are a good idea IS the flaw. Its literally a case of "just because a smart person thinks its a good idea, doesn't make it one".

    The story and stories based on it that properly understand it. All look into how 3 simple well meaning laws which on paper sound and look good. Cause horrific unintended side effects, and harm humanity frequently to comical extremes.

    As the saying goes, “The best laid plans of mice and men can still go wrong.”.
