My parents are 1st gen computing adepts in my country. Dad used to insist in my childhood that computers do exactly, precisely what you told them to do and if you have unexpected result you have to figure out what's wrong with your ask. It was a struggle, but once you figured out the correct asks, you could do anything.

Now, with the "smart" interfaces trying to "understand" what you meant I've completely lost that feeling. Everything is shrouded in obfuscation, unavailable for my real needs.
