Most people assume that the system is entirely automated, and that their commands will be processed by mere computers, not listened to by actual people who might even be their own neighbours.


Most people unfortunately are specialists in at most one field.

Outside of that specialisation they are distinctly average.

We because of who we are entirely expect this stuff but I'm sure I miss all kinds of things that are outside my specialization.

Modern society has become so complex no one person can keep track off all the moving parts to know if they are been taken advantage off for example.


I fear that most people ... don't care, or don't assume the system is automated.

And they do it anyway.
