This very circumstance is described in the book „Qualityland“ and probably many more literature. The book is about a man living in the near (and completely enshitified) future who is confronted by a defunct algorithm that automatically bought him a dolphin dildo. Seeing no way of returning it by normal means - the algorithm is always right and does not accept returns after all - he sets out to right this wrong and discovers the mechanisms and people behind the screens that dictate every aspect of your life.

Sounds straight out of Paranoia RPG. Friend Computer knows what is best for you. To imply that Friend Computer does not have your best intents in its algorithms is treason.
