I don't understand what you are saying. Can you possibly give a concrete example of software trying to replicate human judgement and wisdom and how that's unnecessary complexity?
Concrete example: Photo organizing program
Old style simple, non-complicated: Photos exist as files on a single computer that are manually placed into albums by people, manually shared in curated batches by printing or emailing.
New style complicated, replicates human judgement: Photos exist in the cloud shared across devices. AI software takes date, location, face & object detection to create automated albums, reject the photos that people aren't looking, etc.
