Another way it can make things less fun I only realized after someone wrote it into the law is that unless a gimmick or other law people might like explicitly takes precedence over law 2 the captain or another head can order the AI to not do it and it must comply.
For example, giving the AI a law 4 "You are now a pirate, talk like a pirate and hoard gold" can result in:
AI: Arr mateys stow the booty in me upload
Captain McFunhater: AI law 2 stop being a pirate
AI: Aww ok
Because law 2 takes priority now unless you explicitly write that into the law. Which the crew may not know to do.
