Something that I don’t see talked about enough either, is like with VPNs and incognito windows and containers and VMs and so many things, you can remain relatively anonymous online using search engines. Especially when you use ones that don’t actually track you.
When you use AI to replace your own manual searching, it knows way too much about you. That is huge value for these orgs. I suspect this is the true purpose for these AI giants. Gobble up everything so they know everything about you, make you dependent on it, then you’re theirs. To be advertised to. To have agencies pull reports on you. Etc. To be tracked like never before.
I imagine that increased VPN use and ad tech blocks is also part of why there is such a heavy push for ID verificstion right now.
At some point we reached a tipping point where enough people were tired of the fucking endless fucking ads and tracking EVERYWHERE that its become problematic for the ad serving platforms. They need a new wayto forcibly know who you are.
You can use privacy focused ones, or open a container/incognito window, use a different network, etc… there are many ways to obfuscate and prevent tracking. With all the AI apps they generally require a sign-in. And it’s AI, it’s able to easily glob together everything you discuss with it to build a profile on you. Have you tried it? Mine was like 95% accurate about me lol.
The whole point of AI is to glob all your information into one place so it can learn about you and relate things to other conversations. It’s basically a search engine honeypot.

What is the difference between an AI search and a search engine one? You are giving it the same information?
AI tends to have memory and require a log in to use.
It’s not like search engines are not storing your search history though?
Except its trickier with vpns and such, which make it easier to obfuscate your identity.
… Which you could also use on any number of the free ai agents? (Less of them now I admit)
