One of the things AI is really good at is information laundering. If MS made a search engine that could index everyone's private documents, that would be an obvious violation. But if they train a neural network on private documents, suddenly there's just a magic box that "knows" everything.
Not only information laundering but trendspotting.
Looking at certain sites too often? Hobbies 'far right'? Congratulations, your 'helpful' AI is now a tool of the NSA, FBI, CIA and DOJ. It allows spying on every personal device, which is why Gates is making it impossible not to upgrade.
My laptop got bricked for a month until I finally allowed Windows 11 to update and now I can't revert it. Microsoft literally locked me out of functionality until I updated after months or rejecting it.

Imagine just up and taking this kind of abuse instead of just running Linux.
