Absolutely agree — a computer algorithm can never capture the complex motivations behind human decisions. Two humans can have exactly opposite reactions to the same situation.

Any algorithm under which decisions are not random can be deceived — see also Google’s search results which are full of garbage for any topic outside popular keywords. The history of law is effectively the history of humans trying to game the rules of whatever systems are in place; and I fail to see how AI would function any differently.
