That’s a good question. What we know about the “internet of things” is the intention to include smart capabilities in practically everything, and that would include people if the nanobot/wireless comms/5g bandwidth is capable of achieving that. The IoT dream is to be able to able to create a discrete network of scalable size on the fly, as it were, and devices can be pulled in and out of these meshed networks on an as-needed basis. From what I have seen, IoT capabilities will extend to networks being created as they are required and will be able to act toward their heuristic purpose more or less independently. It’s important to note that devices can be part of more than one network at a time. So, I estimate that people who have been “initiated” into a given heuristic network architecture will effectively be used by that network to achieve whatever goals happen to be useful in the local environment more or less automatically.
I presume that protestors and flash mobs, foot traffic, trains and any given group of people within distance of a network control node a will be used and driven by the machine as required, they will act as mobile transceivers, and will add their capabilities to heuristic networks as algorithmic process finds a use for their particular capabilities.

Long story short, I think you are correct.
