> Its probable that AI will roll out much faster ...

I think a sort of acceptance is the real problem.

Just like because of convenience/laziness people will give up against surveillance, I think the same thing will happen with AI.

I have been listening to the book "talking to strangers" by malcolm gladwell

The book is about how people don't understand others.

One point was that people "default to truth" when listening to other people. Basically people default to believe what others are telling them, and it is good for society. But it can be terrible with accomplished liars, specifically liars who seem confident they are telling the truth. He had examples of CIA spies, Hitler and more.

Wow - I was thinking about AI while listening. AI sounds convincing. It doesn't give hints that it might not be telling you the truth. It will confidently give you answers all day long.

The only way to counteract this is to be a critical, pedantic person. But to behave this way is counter to the rules of society. Folks who routinely do this range from unpopular to completely shunned by society. Think about being critical about adtech instead of shrugging it and accepting it.

sigh.
