Would anyone be willing to explain what's different between this & how humans make decisions?

First, we'd have to have a good model for human decision making.

If we were to start with this as the foundation for modeling human decisions, where does this fail as a model?

Its kind of hard to do the measurements necessary to answer that question without being able to accurately and objectively measure actual human beliefs (which may not be the same as self-reported beliefs.)

Ok. What about using inaccurate, subjective measures? How well does it model self-reported beliefs?

What resolution are you looking for? All models fail to be the thing they're modelling.
The first and obvious answer is that "this is software running on hardware, as apposed to being biologically-based".
It might sound like I'm being facetious but your question is really that broad.

"What sort of predictions that this makes are contradicted by observation"?

This is what I meant. Thanks for providing the clarification I didn't think to include.

I thought the clarification to be self-evident, for what it's worth.

Thanks for this comment. I can't wait to see what the system says about how to market to those who'll create a new HN name for the sake of doxxing someone!
Here at Amazon, we care about the little things like that because we have to. For now. Again, thanks for helping us get one step closer to not having to.
