> so people accept the output as "a computer created it so it must be true" This is the general form of the problem underlying half the news stories on any day. Oddly there are historical roots in science fiction. But always, giant robots flailing their pincers and shouting "does not compute!!" were also cautionary tropes against silly conceits of perfection. What keeps it going, is that it perfectly suits the richest and largest corporations since the East India Tea Company to have people (even very smart people) believing the things they sell are 'infallible'.
