If anything I think the opposite, the internet is going to be so flooded by AI pigswill that no one, automated or not, is going to be able to deal with it.<p>The governments of the world might be able to listen to your phone conversations, but I doubt anyone can listen to whispers in a tornado.
My take from that previous discussion is that we will have the equivalent of a full time FBI agent following us through our (digital) lives.<p>the issue is that a Stasi agent, a stickler for the rules FBI agent or a cross between Gandalf and the best teacher you ever had.<p>In other words of course it's the political framework we set up that will incentivise and guide how we use AI
