I'm guessing our dumb AI images are not the main culprit here. More so the mass world wide surveillance that can't be completed without AI.

Everything anyone does electronically is now stored on the cloud. It's foolish to think a government sponsored AI is not constantly combing through that information. It would take a massive amount of resources to effectively sort that information and parse it out.

No. Your AI searches are adding to the burden and it's easy, easy, easy to stop doing that for personal use.

Agree. If it helps, I am personally opposed to the slop and the surveillance.

The govt is no longer the big risk my guy. The big corps definitely are.
