Computers are a lever, a force multiplier. If your process is shit, you can shit faster with a computer.

LLMs are another force multiplier. If your computerized process is a disaster … well, you said it and you’re right.

When I was young, the quote was still:

  To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer.
