Marketing doesn't need AI to effectively model our purchasing habits, to the degree that large percentages of the population are making purchases of things, "they didn't know they needed," solely based on the high amounts of "anonymized" data already out there.

I think we've already matched the level of intrusion that OP fears, there's no reason for businesses to purchase Gemini AIs (Copywrited, Reserved etc.)

For something like political persuasion, it's here, any of us have the tools available to make a convincing enough deep fake of a celebrity or politician. Don't trust anything you can't interact with, & don't trust those interactions as much as you personally know someone. With regard to news, find multiple trustworthy organizations, compare & contrast what that group of orgs has to say. Ideally, find some reliable sources with viewpoints differing from your own (I mean like WSJ vs. NYT, not some talking twits of social media).

Oil companies killing animals and ocean life tho they aren't human, they are still killing life for profit and they get away with it. Other companies in Big Pharma are also responsible for this with humans, especially when it comes to stuff like insulin for the diabetic. It's literally overpriced just so they can make money.

Also, people kill each other while being greedy over things like money all the time. I mean, anywhere you look in America, you're gonna find greed, and often, it's within these bigger corporations that cause the issue. Hence why I think them being greedy is dangerous because it comes at the expanse of the average person.

Also you can look this up, it's very common for people to kill each other over shit lol

Translation: the large utilities and oil companies see pushing a Hydrogen narrative as a great way to delay having to actually cut back on their natural gas infrastructure.

In all honesty, it's a red herring.

EDIT: bring on the downvotes. I work in this arena and this is something that's been discussed at length in more than a few places.
