While it should teach me to be less forthcoming about my personal information but at the same time, the idea that services were built to crawl through my information with LLMs on top, inadvertently doing the same thing, makes my fucking skin crawl. Why is it so difficult to have a conversation on the internet without some creepy shit spying on everything you do.
