My Dad avoided a crash where he was nearly killed with children in the car and believes he did it because an angel took over the steering wheel and corrected his driving error faster than he could.
How is this relevant to you friend's story, you may ask? It's relevant to show humans are not necessarily reliable narrators of why a crash occurred.
Whether your Dad thinks "Jesus, Took the Wheel," your Dad still had control of the wheel himself (he may think a spirit helped him but his physical self still had control) vs. AI saying I'm locking your brakes and steering wheel & you or Jesus can't do anything about it!
Your dad was in control of the wheel and made a subconscious/reflexive decision and avoided the crash. Whether he chalks it up to an angel or not is completely irrelevant. It is not about human narrative or beliefs, it is about whether or not a human was controlling the wheel.
