Are you sure about that? I recall Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam telling Paul Atreides that long ago, people handed their thinking over to machines, hoping it would free them. Instead it let the people who controlled the machines enslave everyone else.
You are right my original reference was closer to the other books, but people handing over their control to machines, enabling others to control them was from Herbert.
