It IS a useful exercise to rope that in as automation. Just because a human is playing the part of the levers and pullies or some black box doesn't mean the underlying control system isn't interesting or worth examining in the context of automation.

Yes, your subjective experience of having a servant or whatever is similar to the subjective experience you have with automation. But that's pretty close to magical thinking. Outsourced and automated just aren't the same thing. Especially if you're the human stuck making the widget.
