      I think it is more boring and stupid. The tech industry has engineers and scientists who builds stuff but the executive controlling it, the public using it and politicians regulating it insists to believe that a magic genie lives inside the computer.

      Sometimes the genie is benevolent and can fix the economy, answer all your questions with absolute certainty, fix every social problem and rid you of the burden of having to enploy people to do stuff. Other times the genie is evil and he will tell the evil SeeSeePee everything about you and let Russia decide the outcome of the election.

      But in any case the computer is magic and has unlimited abilities.
