> I'm more concerned about Google using AI to mine every conversation I've ever had or my browsing history to classify me as a dissiden before I apply for a visa to travel to China or the United States, or as a deadbeat before I apply for a bank loan, or sick before I apply for insurance, or as unrehabilitatable before I apply for parole.

I'm quite paranoid about this, yet whenever I speak to people about it either people don't care, or already accept it's happening and inevitable.

I think part of the problem is many of us already feel we've lost the battle for privacy. Although, I'm not sure we ever seriously attempted to fight for it. Every street in cities in the UK is full CCTV cameras. The underground and buses track where you travel. Our internet is monitored and logged. This isn't a future problem that will manifest from greed and advances in AI, it's something we all accept and deal with today.

In fact, a lot of people will say to this, "if you don't do anything wrong you've got nothing to hide". They welcome it.
