"..super intelligent robots.. "
Better hope it doesn't happen.

Their first task would be to remove the biological
infestation from the third planet orbiting the
insignificant star called Sol.

Intelligent robots will not carry out such a stupid order.

"Intelligent" robots does not imply "free-will" robots, so such robots,
while intelligent, may have no choice but to follow instructions given to
them.

AI implies learning from experience, not programming, but they are
really the same, in that this is NOT "free will".

WE don't have free will either, because we cannot change our beliefs
about anything without an external cause making us choose to do that,
and then we cannot prevent ourselves from doing it either.

We are beings of cause and effect, just like a robot, but we are
self-aware in that our mind models us as a character in a story
called Our Life, and when robots can do that as a means of analysis
and planning to the degree we do it, then they will be self-aware
just like we are.

Still, there is NO such thing as supposed "Free Will".
Our brain works by chemical cause and effect, and the
causes are either external, or internal to our brain
but still not precisely "ourself".

[Zagan]
We humans are not driven only by external causes, but internal processes as
well. I agree that our belief system "control" us to a great degree, but do
not agree that we cannot overcome external and internal "drives," and thus
have free will. We often do not exercise our free will, but it is there for
those with sufficient fortitude.

[Zagan]
Cause and effect is an idea central to classical physics. Quantum physics
has demonstrated that reality is governed by random processes. Cause and
effect is a result of probability. Certain things are very likely under the
rules of probability, and we may mistake this as cause and effect. Quantum
physics has also shown us that the outcome of an experiment is
observer-dependent. Some have suggested that these quantum properties are
the source of our consciousness. Since cause and effect is probabilistic
only, to me this suggest "free will."

BTW, I like your website!

Then they are just not intelligent enough. Instructors make errors, too.

[Zagan]
Or the instructor intended them to not be able to disobey orders.
