Humans being bad at social decision X is never an argument against humans making those social decisions. This is because of our moral status: we are responsible for our own social systems. We cannot morally evade or nullify that responsibility by asking a Magic Eight Ball to make decisions for us.
Science Fiction writers going back to Asimov have already imagined such dystopias as when machines imprison or enslave humans because humans cannot be trusted to know what is “best” for their own lives. And of course that is how despots like Putin justify themselves.
Maybe I am biased or suboptimal in my hiring, but I own my business and I will live or die by my OWN decisions, thank you. Does any CEO feel different?
