I think people right now are way too willing to surrender their own judgment. AI is an example of this, but there are many others: restaurant ratings, movie metascores, political polls, college rankings, engagement metrics, etc. These kinds of data should be a part of decision making, but not all of it. Otherwise, you get this passive, "who cares" mentality that the author describes.

With that judgment they are surrendering responsibility.

"don't blame me I'm just following what the professionals said" is an attitude that has pervaded damn near every organization in the western world.

Same thing as "Nobody got fired for buying IBM." They aren't just surrendering responsibility, but accountability as well.
