We all know -- the first product should have been a *shark* with a flamethrower. Not as classy as a laser, but heck....
There could be microbes on Mars that Earth life has no immunity to. The chance is small, but not zero. Why take a say 1 in 500 chance of doomsday?

Dear idiot: my post was an analogy to the sort of things an AI should or shouldn't answer in the first place. Please read the parent posts in this thread again.
So... we create artificial intelligence and the first thing we do is control it's output so that it only tells us what we want to hear.
Not even wrong.
Consider the difference between being asked where you work and answering, and being asked for the contents of the classified documents you work with, and answering.
Don't panic.
