Try actually reading the report rather than just plucking out the word "automation"
Re. "Better to cite The Air France crash off Brazil". The trouble with that is so much went wrong it's hard to come to any meaningful conclusion. The CM2(co pilot) action in pulling back the stick was clearly terribly wrong, but I don't see how you can possibly know he did so because "he didn't understand the sidestick logic". I suggest it's far more likely that in the pitch-black turbulence and hail of the tropical storm cell he was simply overwhelmed by a mass of contradictory information, crucial parts of which(airspeed) were wrong and a cacophony of alarms and warnings.
