Yeah, but even the best ones would happily crash into a mountain if the pilots don't set their altimeters properly (and ignore the terrain warnings).

Are you sure that it is happy? Maybe the autopilot is really sad about its inability to not fly into a mountain.

Hard to say, it might depend on the plane model. I've heard that Boeing 777s autopilots are really snarky.
