Keyboard Lets People Type So Fast It's Banned from Typing Competitions (2022)
(vice.com)
The CharaChorder is a new kind of typing peripheral that promises to let people type at superhuman speeds. It’s so fast that the website Monkeytype, which lets users participate in typing challenges and maintains its own leaderboard, automatically flagged CharaChorder’s CEO as a cheater when he attempted to post his 500 WPM score on the its leaderboards.

Ironies of Automation (1983)
(complexcognition.co.uk)
The classic aim of automation is to replace human manual control, planning and problem solving by automatic devices and computers. However, as Bibby and colleagues (1975) point out : "even highly automated systems such as electric power networks, need human beings for supervision, adjustment, maintenance, expansion and improvement.
