The end of dumb software
A computer is an inanimate object. It is the software developer who makes it do anything.

And what animates the software developer? I disagree that a computer is an inanimate object (unless you pull the power plug).

My point is that there is a person who created the software who deserves the blame. You can't talk about a computer being smart at all. Either the programmer was smart or they weren't.
