"It's not trying to trick you"

Yes it is. The whole setup is predicated on being tricked. It's psychological manipulation from the start, with this talk of how accurately it predicts people's choices. The setup is meant to intimidate you into agreeing with the computer because it's so accurate that no rational person would defy it!

Intellectually dishonest/lazy shit like this is why I don't watch Veritasium videos anymore.
