Rules: I have one word which has several (2 or more) meanings. Each of the meanings is a teapot (first, second ...). You try to figure out the word with the conversation between the teapots
Hint 1:
First teapot: Humans are annoyed of my existence
Second teapot: Probably yeah, they are shocked even if they get a hint of my existence
Hint 2:
First teapot: Humans hate me. Do they hate you as well?
Second teapot: Eventually they hate me too, but it has always been complicated
Hint 3:
First teapot: I remind them of their mistakes
Second teapot: So you help them to rectify? I remind them of what they spoke
Hint 4:
First teapot: Yeah, I am useless if I don't show up
Second teapot: Totally agree.. But I am useless if I do
Answer
I think the answer is
Bug
In particular
First teapot - bug, error in computer program or system
Second teapot - bug, a concealed miniature microphone
First teapot: Humans are annoyed of my existence
Computer bugs are a sign of something going wrong in a program.
Second teapot: Probably yeah, they are shocked even if they get a hint of my existence
Anybody would be shocked to find out they are being bugged.
First teapot: Humans hate me. Do they hate you as well?
I always hate when my code hits a bug, but they can be very serious.
Second teapot: Eventually they hate me too, but it has always been complicated
There is a complicated balance always at play between personal privacy and state security.
First teapot: I remind them of their mistakes
Computer bugs are the result of human error.
Second teapot: So you help them to rectify? I remind them of what they spoke
Surveillance bugs record conversations.
First teapot: Yeah, I am useless if I don't show up
Bugs are important to spot to make your code better.
Second teapot: Totally agree.. But I am useless if I do
If you find a surveillance bug, who knows what has been recorded.
Acrostic
The first letters of the second teapot's sentences spell PEST - a synonym for bug.
