Please, humans are overrated. They lie, they cheat, they conceal and they are certainly biased. In my city an unmarried couple or people of certain religions are not allowed to rent some places

On the other hand, technology is full of bugs and idiotic assumptions, from which it can't recover - it's also strongly biased towards the one controlling it. And it can also lie, cheat and conceal things, and there's exactly shit you can do about it.

The older I get, the more I prefer dealing with flesh-and-blood people rather than self-service solutions. Life is too short for dealing with systems that go out of your way to railroad you into a bad deal.
