This wasn't the default autopilot but a new system, as such they didn't know what was causing the behaviour. On top of that all their sensors gave them different information.

You have a new automatic system pilots are not told about that will deep dive a plane with 200 people into the ocean unless you do things you have learned to apply in a different situation. I don't think you can call that a human error.. Except for maybe the human that decided not to tell the pilots?
