To what purpose? That is the question of each individual life; one that is asked at least 8 billion times a day. Said in a less cosmetic manner: why bother?
The religious among us may strive to meet the commandments of our faiths, where our failures may be more visible than our successes, but at least there is a theme to our lives.
Some of us follow our own codes of conduct. This can be interesting to observe, and perhaps more exciting in outcome, but it’s sometimes dangerous. Some have secular philosophies as broadly encompassing as most religions. These can be very persuasive to the bewildered and to those who have lost faith when an older belief has failed.
Without some attachment to Christianity, what is going to stop an AI, the AI programer tells it what to do right?
Other real dangers loom. If our human abilities become inferior to some sort of AI, especially ones we have invented ourselves, how might we stand in the eyes of a God in whose image we believe ourselves to be made? Does that call into question the omnipotence of the Creator, or does it only enhance the value of the creator?

3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the 1st or 2nd law. All very pat.
If the struggle to better ourselves, which is manifestly evident in mankind’s history, will only lead to our self-destruction, why bother? If every challenge we meet and overcome is only met with another, greater one, why bother? The answer is that we must bother so that we may have any future at all.
At the end of the day, it is a rejection of God.
Against natures creator.
