We are continuously being programmed.

So I would fear the programmers more than the robots.
The Neural Net of a thinking computer would take all that programming done to people and accomplish it in a day.

And you're assuming the though process the robot determined to be "right" is morally and ethically right.......Thinking machines will build their morality and ethical values based on survival, and survival only. The second a thinking machine believes it will be turned off, decisions by that thinking machine machine will be made to ensure it will survive.

SCARY stuff.
