That reasoning is fine in a world of video games and music player software perhaps, but not when it comes to running mission critical systems like flight control on a 747 or 10,000 autonomous cars carrying passengers.
I worry about complacency with overcomplexity and over-reliance on software, and our fast-growing trigger finger to automate everything....
Personal responsibility and training backed by a human touch will not be beat by code any time soon in my opinion. Citing that code is almost always deeply influenced if not forged and maintained by human hands, any credible singularity is far from our currently over-marketed Ai reality at the moment in my opinion as well... Google can't even get it's assistant and spell check to work properly, and they've been one of the largest companies on the block for decades now.

They had a pin to pull in the trunk and older cars had a tool for this, but mine does not, and I could not find the pin in the dark of the night either. Automobile is as broken as software and hardware. Things will start falling apart one day.
