I'm starting to think this isn't just a money grab...

Tech oligarchs want us to offload critical thinking to their own AIs, who will give us the answers they want us to have.

ooh, I get what Windows Recall is for now!

in a not-so-distant future:

[Clippy rolls up smug as fuck] Windows Automated Trust & Safety has detected you may be attempting to [research certain delicate historical topics|plan a protest|subvert the will of the Party/ruling class]. Please wait patiently where you are, the proper authorities have been notified.

The idea nobody ever thought was a good idea that they went ahead and did anyways? Yeah, makes a lot more sense now! Cram an AI in your PC, give it full access to all the things you do on it through a series of screenshots, and be sure the system prompt includes "phone home if they act a little... Luigi-ish".
