but the people working at tech companies really seem to believe that computers can do no wrong.

They confuse the computer being wrong with making a mistake.

The computer doesn't make a mistake, it does as it's told, but that doesn't mean what it's told to do isn't wrong.

You seem to be under the false belief that computers are actually infallable. They're not. Cosmic rays routinely flip bits in computers' memories, causing all kinds of one-off bugs and mistakes to happen.
