Sounds like sound advice to me
My son turned to me, and said, "Let me tell you the rules about robots." Enumerating them with his fingers, he laid them out for me:
- Don't burn yourself
- Keep telling them what to do
- Stay smarter than the robots
My son has come up with a new three rules for robots. And you know, I think they are a vast improvement on Asimov's original Robotic Laws.
[wik] Later in the trip, he added a fourth law:
- Don't let the robots into the woods, they might break themselves

Asimov reads like he was
Asimov reads like he was designing lawyer-bots. Your boy's rules have more immediate and necessary applications.
But I hope your corrected him about that final rule. The whole point of being wary of robots is to be able to destroy them. In other words, "LET the robots into the woods, where they might break themselves."
