I've found that people in general seem to trust computers more than humans, which made sort of sense for a while.

What they don't fully realize is that this is a completely different game; now the computer is just guessing, as opposed to following a deterministic algorithm to the answer.

And this misunderstanding carries the potential for pretty serious consequences, good luck getting that loan once a computer finds some arbitrary pattern and says no.

If only it would tell you "You've criticized the war effort that day in 2004", in stead it will do parallel construction. The end game will be a kind of SEO for human profiles and we will live happily ever after by the best practice guide lines.
