The "I can't do anything because our computer says so and even though I can't say why that happened that's our final decision" became quite common excuse/accountability waiver, it's good that something is happening to it. I sincerely hope it will become a social norm to frown at such waiver attempts, making them recognized faux pas.
It has nothing to do with markets or capitalism, though - only corporate bureaucracies could be blamed. The same things could (and would) have happened in any socioeconomic environment. Computers can be blamed as dreaded black boxes of magic, but don't necessarily have to do anything with the problem, it could be any black box, machine or human, as long as it's deemed untouchable.
In this case, though, I honestly believe the correct statement should be "whatever sources or tools I have used, they became my words here so I am fully responsible for everything I've said - all fact checks are on me" rather than "no AI" reactionism.
