All modern aircraft (except light civilian craft like a Piper Cub, etc.) are “fly by wire” in that the aviator only makes his suggestion to the avionics system and the aircraft makes the requisite adjustments to the control surfaces and throttle. If the incoming data is telling the computer to do something but the pilot disagrees with it, the pilot is supposed to be able to override but there are exceptions. If push comes to shove, the aircrew are given the option to disconnect the automated system.
What a world....
