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 said

    you would probably end up degrading your own experience; getting irrelevant ads

    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.
