Yeah I was gonna say that its not listening to our every thought and secret for some grand scheme as a baseline. It really just wants to sell us more shit and show adverts, which is somehow more benign and also infinitely dumber. But I guess it's easier to match keywords for that versus whatever insane but mundane shit folks say on a regular basis.
Not to say that some of those in positions of power don't want toale 1984 look libertine but moreso that they seem more incapable than unwilling. Probably why some are so obsessed with AI since it could in theory sift through all that data for reasons other than advertising.
