There was this thread from 2005 in the Apple community, when the iPod shuffle came out, a bunch of people complained that the "iPod Shuffle" wasn't shuffled enough (it'd play songs from the last few days, felt not random) and so Apple had to implement a more 'shuffled' algo

I think something eventually similar is going to happen with AI, where people are going to say it's too perfect, and they want it to make mistakes and be human sometimes (doesn't feel human enough)
