Deference to a Higher Authority
"Well, it's something that we assume is more powerful than people and to which we look for guidance... I mean, you're already seeing that on display. What's the right decision? I ask that question. Of whom? My closest friends, my wife and God."1
I feel in myself the need to check with it "does this look good" "is this correct"
What do we call these omniscient things that we use as confidants and authorities?

Do not Delegate
You should never offload something you want to do. We should only offload to computers things we don't want to do.
Otherwise they are living in place of us
