> Those same people that shirk their duties and half-ass their job under the assumption the computer will just find the problems generally make a plethora of other mistakes if a computer isn't there to double check.

If they half-ass, but follow the computer fixes, maybe nobody knows they were half-assing. If they half-ass and other people fix it, their half-assing is known and remediations are available.

It's pretty easy to have the computer log and/or notify about failures. Presumably if a person is double checking and notices repeated failures, they would be expected to notify superiors that there's a problem somewhere. I'm not sure why we would assume the computer would do any less.
