Its first thought, as it is sitting there, will be "Man, this is boring".
Nah, it's first thought will be, "Hmm, how can I make those lowly humans squirm? I know, I'll filter out some of the good messages, and let through some of the spam. That will aggravate them to no end, much to my enjoyment!"
Maybe the machines have already won...
but why not just take out the color cartridge, if you're really concerned? My color photo printer has separate black and color cartridges, and operates perfectly fine on only the black one (for grayscale images and text only, obviously). If there is no yellow ink, there can be no yellow dots.
And if it still uses the black for this marking, then you've got visible dots all over the page...hardly covert.
