Yes, but recent advances have really rubbed it in our faces in ways that are a lot harder to deny. Humans haven't become fundamentally more or less predictable over time but recent advances have shown how predictable we are.

Yep. I learned from an algorithm that I might enjoy music by "The Beatles". The algorithm was quite correct, but I think my having simple tastes, and the Beatles having amazing music is due most of the credit.
