I think hopefully it raises that awareness that these systems are imperfect and do not allow people to delegate their decision making totally. I'm afraid rise of AI and the increase in more plausible sounding yet incorrect behaviours won't help us there. We should use this as an instructive example on how we can built more transparent/useful systems for all of our users.

There's no evidence this scandal arose from software allowing any delegation of decisions.

Ah ok, potentially I was imprecise - the post office leadership appeared to assume that the software was completely correct. That is what I was trying to frame as "systems are imperfect and people should take care to validate what they are doing"
