For example: in a society where autonomous security guard robots kill intruders, there would not be people sneaking into warehouses.

We have a society (in the US) where cops often shoot first and ask questions later, but many people still do crimes. People will take risks about things that desperately matter to them, and indeed stories of such risk-taking are common cultural fodder. Are you not just generalizing from your own behavior?

Often?

The reason they still commit crimes is there's fairly good chances they won't get caught and even better chances they won't get shot.

On the other hand, how often are people robbing places with hired security? Robot dog security is just security escalated.

No. You are just generalizing from specific news stories you've read about cops.

I am not (see below) and in any case this is not relevant to the question posed to GP, which was why s/he thinks people would abstain from risky behavior just because risks exist.

What would happen if we fed LLM all the videos from YouTube channels such as PoliceActivity?

Maybe I am generalizing too, based on the videos (bodycam) I have seen, but I agree with parent.
