Algorithms try to channel us into repeating our lives

The autocorrect example is wonderful. Before that, they already imposed “order” on us by insisting that words are to consistently spelled. That’s obviously inhumane, if you look at how different we pronounce and stress them during the day. My wife,for example, uses a far higher pitch than I.

And next, toilets. How do they dare assume that I wanted to flush the urinal when I stepped away from it. Or that I wanted to wash hands when I placed my hands under the faucet.
