Just listened to Naomi Brockwell talk about how AI is basically the perfect surveillance tool now.
Her take is very interesting: what if we could actually use AI against that?
Like instead of trying to stay hidden (which honestly feels impossible these days), what if AI could generate tons of fake, realistic data about us? Flood the system with so much artificial nonsense that our real profiles basically disappear in the noise.
Imagine thousands of AI versions of me browsing random sites, faking interests, triggering ads, making fake patterns. Wouldn’t that mess with the profiling systems?
How could this be achieved?
you guys are getting ads?
My entire family is ad free for years… with the exception in podcasts. I am tempted to block them too (is there a way now?) but still not too intrusive… it is a way for me to keep connected to the ad world anyways. Now, the moment they abuse them here tii… I’ll find a way to block these.
I’m not, but OP would if they started opening up their IP and fingerprints to anyone who wants them, in order to inundate those parties with garbage data. Admittedly, I might be missing some clever part of their plan.
Getting more targeted ads is not really in your interest. That is an idea promoted by the ad people.
I’m not seeing the relevance of your comment
You said
Irrevant ads = less targeted ads. You seem to think this is a negative. I’m saying it is actually a positive.
Taken by themselves, yes you are correct. Less targeted is a positive. I would rather just not have the ads, which is where I am at now. So I don’t understand why I would give that up, which is what the OP’s strategy would seem to require.
No clever plan. Just picked up this idea and like to see different opinions from people maybe far more advanced in that field
