Excellent question that reminds me of two anecdotes:
1) In my CS ethics course, we had a writing prompt asking whether, assuming perfect capability, it would be better to replace sports referees with computers
2) I wrote a cheat program for a word game my dad liked playing. Super proud of my accomplishment, I showed it to him, and he was impressed for a minute before stating the game wasn’t fun that way (also have an earlier version of this memory involving a Sega Genesis Game Genie)
