I don't understand what you are saying. Can you possibly give a concrete example of software trying to replicate human judgement and wisdom and how that's unnec

  The parent is not saying that replicating human judgement is unnecessary complexity, quite the opposite, that our expectations for software replicating human judgement are making it complicated and as a result of that complexity we have "better" software. Concrete example: Photo organizing program Old style simple, non-complicated: Photos exist as files on a single computer that are manually placed into albums by people, manually shared in curated batches by printing or emailing. New style complicated, replicates human judgement: Photos exist in the cloud shared across devices. AI software takes date, location, face & object detection to create automated albums, reject the photos that people aren't looking, etc.
