How would you express those values?
There is no language to describe such subjective concepts.
And that would be the requirement for a machine to try to evaluate the results.
Then, computers work in binary. Meaning, everything is discrete to them. There is no continuous spectrum.
For example, who do you love/value more: your parents? Your siblings? Your children? Your pets?
Is this allocation constant? Or might it change depending on the situation?
Also, what are those values anyway?
And finally, who designed that computer? Who programmed it?
Can a universal thought process even exist?

Of course it will.
In the end, it was I who entered the information.
And if you’d enter yours, it would decide accordingly.
Nothing is perfect or unique.
It is (for what we know) impossible for two objects to carry the same information.
And through the even greater imperfection of human beings, two of them will neither receive nor evaluate data equally.
Thus, there are infinitely many combinations of presets for that computer.

I’d say, you can adapt.
And also consider non-measurable phenomena like other peoples feelings or reactions.
You can prioritize.
Recently I wanted to get §thing.
Then I started to weigh wether I truly need §thing and if I can afford it too.
Such decisions would require a ton of code engineering to implement.

Wasn’t there a saying along the lines of „we’re but the sum of our memories“?

What about those small little and „unimportant“ choices?
Will you treat yourself with a snack this evening? Is it a bar of chocolate, or rather a bunch of carrots?
