> So how bad could it really get
I don't know. How about we ask some of the peoples who have been destroyed on the word of a single infallible malicious leader.
Oh wait, we can't. They're dead.
Any other questions?

How does doing it with a computer add anything?
Say what you will about a human, but unless you're a religious zealot or blind you generally don't believe the leader to be infallible. But through the magic of silicon you can shut people up more effectively.
This makes computers an accelerator of the problem, and therefore warrants caution any time their output may be relied upon for life and death decisions.
