Humans aren’t perfect, but computer programs are only as good as the programming.

Humans are more than capable of writing programs that exceeds the most elite humans in the world, such as in go or chess. In nature we find creations exceeding creators all the time, so we shouldn't really be too surprised.
They are also capable of releasing bad software to production.
go and chess are infinitely simpler than drugs, humans and their interactions.

it's like saying autonomous driving is easy you just have to follow the road and read the signs, we have the best minds and unlimited money working on it for a decade+ and it still suck ass
