First of all, the Quote is from E”H 2:11, not 2:1 (primary sources!?)
Second, most Poskim disagree with Rav Moshe in that example (that AI CAN not create a Mamzer by definition, and that AI is Mutar). Rav Moshe claims it is because they are biased and do not use only “Torah” to come to a P’sak, but also their personal opinions!
So, we have Rav Moshe who says its possible (and has happened) that “Da’as Torah” paskened not based on Torah, but “outside influences.
Which leaves us to decide if the Posek is biased or not? Or better idea, your Rav can do his research, and based off of his understanding, come to a P’sak for you.
