Isn't it wrong if an AI is making shit up to sell you bad products while the tech bros who built it are untouchable as long as they never specifically instructed the bot to lie?
That's the main reason why AIs are used to make decisions. Not because they are any better than humans, but because they provide plausible deniability. It's called an accountability sink.
