What about non-AI powered machines that mediate our social, cultural, economic and political interactions? For example, science journal paywalls.

In my experience most researchers are more than happy to share with you the paper upon askance via e-mail.

If I asked for a paper and they looked at me askance, I'd wonder why I emailed them instead of just asking - since we're in viewing range obviously.

Damn autocarrot.
