You said it well when you said: "For good or evil". In fact we will see that it's NOT the "good" that will win in this AI (artificial intelligence) fantasy, but the evil itself. We just had 2 awful answers (the 2 accidents of the MAX) from our subject regarding how does the plane try to automatically (apparently intelligent) trim the nose down continuously until "it believes" that the stall has been eliminated. One A330 had a cruise incident while another A330 and a belly (crash) landing due to "automation gone wild" encounters! This case showed one more glimpse of what it's like to lay your belief in automation.
If safety is still to be no.1, then automation should only be there to relax the pilot, NOT turn him into a donkey that doesn't know how to fly anymore after so much "auto" in his head. The pilot remains a pilot, if he still wants to be called that way anymore.
Regards!
