What if 777's overintelligent computers disagree with the pilots commands just as in the AF296?
What are you talking about, AF296 crashed because TOGA thrust was applied to late, the plane didn't climb over the trees because it was already at max alpha for the slow fly-by and the engines took around 4 sec (which was normal) to get to any decent amount of thrust, they were around 90+% when they began ingesting the trees! Had it been a Boeing exactly the same thing would have happened except the stick shaker would probably been going off intermittently indicating they were near the stall as they tried to climb over the trees with insufficient speed and waiting for the engines to spool up.
