Got nothing to do with being humanoid.
Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.
Give it pack tactics, with radio comms…

Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?

It doesn’t need comms if the pack is functioning as a multi part individual the way bees or ants do.

Aka: radio comms, when talking about robots.

So they can easily do tasks better than a human or that a human could not poasibly do.

I’m much more interested in a robot that can cook. That’d be something.

They already have stir fry robots. They’re not humanoid though, because they’re built specifically for stir fry.

That’s definitely a step in the right direction.

The strongest wisdom I have learned in life is that if humans can do it, they will. Ethics can never prevent something from arising; only physics.

If you consider the mentality of fascist dictators, the concept of an ever obedient non thinking workforce/army is very appealing. That’s why.
Could it end badly even for them? Sure, but heck, if they don’t make the human race ending robots, someone else will.

I give it 6 months until they forget their password or something and their entire empire collapses until they can get someone out from IT to fix it, but first they have to log a ticket or else no work is being done.
