Computers are nothing but fast morons. They have no knowledge other than what humans have permitted them to have or compute with.
There is the old acronym: GIGO. "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Put in false information, you only get false information out. But which humans have put that false information into the computer?
"On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." - Charles Babbage (1791-1871), inventor of the Analytical Engine.
