A more fitting metaphor along this line would be if you bought a chainsaw-weilding robot and directed it to cut down some trees, and it instead cut off your finger. Once a product has agency and is making decisions of its own accord, if it makes the wrong decisions, I don't think it's unreasonable to say the person who programmed it has some level of responsibility, likely some kind of negligence.
- rytill 7y agoYou really can’t pin anything like this on a single person, as tempting as it may be. The company that sells a product should deal with the consequences and accept responsibility as a complete unit. If someone coded something and somehow the bug eluded understanding all the way up the chain, it’s everyones fault for not putting more “solidness” pressure all the way down.
- FussyZeus 7y agoYeah you’re right, poor wording on my part. Agree.
