I mean, the Mechanical Turk was actually a chess master who was pulling strings and levers under the table while seeing the chess field through mirrors. So it never was a machine and merely just a ruse. So the name is a bit less grim in that aspect, but it definitively doesn’t change the inhuman work involved in it. Also, doesn’t Lavarand exist?

And a fun fact: the Mechanical Turk is the reason the German word “getürkt” (meaning “faked”, “doctored”) exists.

Ah, bacteriophages, not general viruses.
