How many times have you heard that ? I never thought computers made errors on their own ,they can crash, break down ,freeze but not make mistakes , when I am told that I ask has the computer been sacked and replaced ?, It is all too easy to blame a machine

Machines are sometimes in Error, just like people!

If a computer makes an error, it is because a human
has not programmed it correctly.

Or a part wore out.
No one else to blame ;-(

That's what I think too, if it has not broken they never get rid of it because it has made an error or get an engineer to check why it makes these errors

I used to program mainframes, and believe me, the only errors ever
occurring were manmade.

All this said There are two I know of that did sort of go rogue
Hal 9000 from Space odyssey
And Bomb #20 from Dark star

Computers are very precious equipment and it makes a dramatic show when people use them as a punching bag.

When people talk to the computer, sometimes they think of it is a human, and expect it to automatically do what they wanted to do When people talk to each other, the activity in their brains mirror each other. When people talk to the computer, sometimes they expect it to be like a human and automatically do what they want it to do. I will say though, that when troubleshooting the code of a computer program, it actually does feel like the computer is reading my mind.

Or paying attention at least

In a lot of cases it's also an IDTENT error.
