My favorite cases are those there ambiguity of goal specification results in unintended behaviour:
1. A robot is asked to remove all ball-like objects from the a room and cut the head of its owner.
2. A robot is asked to bring coffee in bed and pour the coffee in the bed.
These examples are derivates from short joke stories which I heard elsewhere, but they underline inherited ambiguity of any goal specified in natural language. Thus, humor may be a source of intuitions about situations where such ambiguities could arise.
