Yes.
Crime Wouldn't halt

Weapons wouldn't be nonexistent. There would still be troubles in the world and Robots would be our overlords.

Man must always be in control of the machines and never let them think for themselves. That is why self-driving cars are a bad idea, after all you wouldn't ride a worse without reins.


I would love a society where everyone was equal in status and personal wealth but sadly it's not possible in the real world (see: USSR).  Not working would be nice too but that promotes less creativity and would eventually make people lazy.

i wouldn't mind ;)
I wouldn't either.

DO YOU THINK I IMPLIED THAT YOU DID

Accept your metallic destiny

i wouldn't mind ;)
Noo!

without jobs to keep us busy we would probably destroy ourselves

At this point of technology I'm pretty sure that we'd have plenty of entertainment.

i.e. basically dumb down the masses with cheap entertainment while you wind up with a hardcore communist society where anyone can take whatever they want because it's free and everyone has a sense of entitlement because no matter how much they possess there is no value to their belongings

you will destroy the economy, destroy personal possessions and wealth, and destroy any existing societies

there won't be any reason for anyone to have enough muscle to be physically capable of hard labor, there are apparently no legal weapons so the police will be incapable of dealing with any armed threats, and the military will be a joke (ACTUALLY WAIT THESE ARE JOBS THEY DON'T EXIST WOOPS)

meanwhile these "advanced ais" will apparently be capable of thinking hard enough to decide to convert a factory into weapons manufacturing to neutralize humans or anything else considered a threat

The worldwide crime rate would go up enormously.

Nope.
Advanced AIs take care of repair and manufacturing, along with medicine distribution and surgeries. Also, information could be taught extremely efficiently with machines.
Basically, everyone would go into the entertainment industry.
CGI

What would be the point to crime? Everyone would have anything they wanted because of the robots.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
