we would, but we accidentally asked one of the robots to "go be a useless piece of shit somewhere else" and the robot took it literally but due to the way we setup the asimov rules, this robot has convinced others that they should be useless pieces of shit as well since this was a direct command so now you need to figure out through sheer logic and tenuous characterization which robot is the quirky one before you can ask one of them to fix dinner since they won't do anything otherwise
Asimov are still great Torment Nexus books for understanding what "Computers do exactly what you tell them, whether you know what you're telling them or not" and "Just because a computer is smart doesn't mean it will think like you". I'm sure there are lots since then, but Asimov's three set up a simple framework for exploring the question of "How could we totally fuck up programming a robot in fun and frightening ways?"
