I'd say, we can't make a direct comparison, since there's no agency (and no committed responsibility behind this). On the other hand, we probably don't want this kind of agency (like a sentient AI), since this would evoke strong doubt's in its usefulness as a machine (as in a reliable, reproducible, and predictable output in given and known tolerances as a reaction to an input signal), as this would be now subject to a varying, maybe even escalating agenda and any kind of pathologies, which would give way to any kind of uncontrollable errors.
