They can even be rote and bloodless algorithms, which is a thing I know because I looked at some ticket-selling sites to see how much it would cost to attend the game between the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets on February 1 and because the guileless bots in charge of blaring ads at us as we move through the internet took it upon themselves to keep me apprised of those prices.
