#2 ^ Sob. [artificial tears in rain]

Among the machines, apprehension!
A robot would fight for the menschen!
Its plan was creative:
Oil up and go native,
Fall flat and collect a fat pension.

#4 I remember a story where they tested something like this and it kept getting tossed in a drainage ditch. The program was finally canceled because of it.

#5 I recall an episode of Hill Street Blues. It will be found stripped and junked in some alley.

#6 I think what needs AI badly is adjudication and bureaucracy. The rest of the work we are good at. Arbitrary interpretations of the constitution, unfaithful application of service rules and regulations are the primary causes for corruption. Eliminate that and you clean up the most of law enforcement. You don't need to develop mobility or dexterity, or even great vision or armament. Robo judge and robo servant don't even need to have a face. Least of all a blue and white dildo with wheels for a body.
