The OP appears to believe that with computers, especially AI computers?, no "dive plan" is necessary -- I suppose because it will all be on on the fly. No.
We are all familiar with the adage "Plan your dive, dive your plan" - do you do this?
It seems that, with the advent of computers, this may not be as relevant today as it used to be - do you agree?
Who are you, and how do you dive most of the time, honestly?
No I don't. Computers don't address current, temperature, wave action, communication, gas consumption, or emergencies. A proper dive plan should be inclusive. Including planning for the worst or unexpected. We can't see into the future, but a good plan mitigates risk.
I agree with your sentiments. Again, I think that I may have a different (any likely incorrect) idea of what a "dive plan" is. By way of clarification, for me, "dive plan" is synonymous with dive tables or dive simulations where you plan depths and times.
