    Definitely would not be used to monitor user data and then used for targetted advertisements. \s

    On the side note, this could be pretty slick if open source community is able to use them for all kinds of purposes.

    As a kid I read all the William Gibson books and dreamed of a future of full sensory web immersion

    In "Idoru" Gibson even predicted the AI influencers that humans fall in love and develop relationships with.

    They are picking all the bad stuff from dystopian fiction and rolling it all at once. It's like tech bros got the Cliff notes of all the scifi stories and turned to the page that explained what the protagonist was fighting against and said "yes, let's do all that".

    Edit: I've never actually used Cliffsnotes so I am making an assumption that it breaks down the characters motives.
