I am far more concerned about software automating what used to be left to human judgement. AI will judge us just the same, just faster and with no way to appeal to common sense.

I'm being cheeky, but at the same time, it's a serious issue. AI used in these fashions are just going to be bureaucracy on steroids, however, as you mention, less chances for appeals.

And on an extremely serious note, I am utterly terrified how many people treat, "Well the AI/algorithm says xyz, it must be true. Got to believe the math/data." I'm not kidding, that's my fear. People blindly follow the almighty algorithms. It's just another form of religion and worship. And even more seriousness, atheists are fantastic at rationalizing their blind dogmatic worship over algorithms.

I'm pretty sure GP was being sarcastic.

Mildly

Humanity is fine but we’ve tolerated cancers that have gained control of the brain and are running the show.

I'm perfectly okay with AI and algorithms being used as red flaggers to help a human find out what needs immediate attention or even potential concerns. I'm 100% against algorithms and AI making the actual decisions.

I was talking about MBAs, but find your idea to be logical and likely. AI/human hybrids where humans make decisions based on AI processed information.

/s, surely?

Does /s mean cheeky? I seriously have no clue what /s means.

It means sarcasm
