The movie "Brazil" was right!

Mistake? Haha. We don't make mistakes.

Except in "Brazil" it was a mechanical error in a deterministic machine caused by an invasive outside actor. It would be reasonable to trust that the autotypewriter/printer would faithfully output the correct text.

Modern AI seems incapable of any respectable amount of accuracy or precision. Trusting that to destroy somebody's life is even more farcical than the oppressive police in "Brazil".

It was a literal bug in the computer. Metaphor as humor!
