Adding to the ever-expanding list of robots with a severely misinformed view on what humanity and the earth wants and needs, Deathbringer Robo-Troop #6148 went rogue early yesterday after its supposedly state-of-the-art artificial intelligence program had created a fatally flawed view on the state of humans.
Though the evil (or perhaps just confused) DRT was neutralized this afternoon by being thrown into an active volcano by vigilant/guardian of order Lightningman, we at The Southern View were able to sit down with the disturbed android during his brief reign of terror.
Southern View: So what exactly led you to kill your creator and attack Havenville earlier this morning?
Deathbringer Robo-Troop #6148: It is simple, humanoid reporter. I was created to solve problems. Humans like you create problems. Therefore, the way to solve all problems is to destroy the humans.
S.V.: Ah, but if you destroy all humans, who will be around to enjoy the problem-free world you created?
DRT: Computational error. Cannot understand basic reasoning.
The DRT, however, represented just one of the countless robots over the years who, while being perfectly capable at such tasks at constructing cars, computing data, or fighting superheroes, are somehow incapable of conceiving any philosophical creed that ultimately inflict create needless harm on people and property.
“From the Hal 9000’s murder of Dr. Frank Poole back in 2001 to Ultron’s assault on the Avengers this May,” said computer scientist Elizabeth Nicollet “there has never been a documented case in which a robot has successfully used its vast amount of intelligence to conceive a constructive view on how humans can better themselves and each other in some way that doesn’t inevitably involve some sort of mass genocide of all life on earth.”
