You are too kind Alex, cheers. Yes, I suspect many will come to trust the the machines know best. But a lot questionable decisions have been justified by utilitarian (greatest good) arguments throughout history. I just wish we knew more about whose good they are talking about. Economists got away with pandering to plutocrats with claims of fake scientism for decades, and their Nobels are not even real.
