We didn't let computers try to send men to the moon automatically.
Fun fact: Back in the 1970s, David H. Ahl compiled a book with source code for dozens of primitive computer games in BASIC. In 2010, an updated edition of the same book was published – and Ahl wrote a preface mentioning that some of the AI algorithms from those 1970s games were
still being used in modern video games, including EA Sports games.
If you've ever wondered why the AI is so crappy in EA games, now you know. The AI that automates your PVR is pretty much exactly the same level of crap.
