The difference is that although humans aren’t 100% accurate, they are responsible for their work.


This has been going down over time.

A lot of the software industry has been moving away from assigning humans individual responsibility for failure (e.g. blameless post mortems).


I suspect that it's only a small corner of the software industry, which is itself only a small corner of industry.

I further suspect that most actors will still want someone responsible to take the blame when an incident takes place. Even if they have to make one up.
