You’re right, but that still misses the point. More frequently updated software doesn’t make people intuitively trust it more. For some, it can do the opposite by making them question why it needs to be updated so much to begin with.

Humans don’t generally measure risks statistically. They do so emotionally and with lots of cognitive biases. You don’t alleviate that with more and more facts, unfortunately.



Sorry if I was unclear. Software is more unpredictable in my view, both because of fleet updates and it being so fundamentally different than humans. (On the whole, I realize AI and ML could work similar to some human processes.)


My fault, your “also” should have tipped me off to what you meant.
