The Lesson of Human History
The more we rely on automation, this is the lesson of human history. I'm much more concerned about bad programming and software engineering that I am about like malevolent AI systems that destroy the world. Heuristic rules are very effective guides to behavior for both human behavior and artificially intelligent behavior. Our strength is heuristics. Make that your focus. Not endless computations over 25 details here merge with 27 details here. That's not what humans are good at. The uniquely human strength is arriving at these heuristic rules and principles, which guide our behavior.
