“AI will evaluate your texts” is a wildly dystopian idea.

If it’s a “smart TV”, it already scans the content you watch and phones home about it.

Newer Samsungs (at least 2019, maybe even older) have a microphone in the remote. It’s opt-in to give it that permission (you have to agree to a bunch of legalese), but it being Samsung, I just assume they’re listening anyway.

Anything touching your texts is a wildly dystopian idea.
It’s like boiling a frog, now EU is already trying to do things which would be considered unbelievable dystopian shit in Russia, year 2008.
They got here by accepting smaller steps in the direction of unbelievable dystopian shit, because “what, are you a sovereign citizen”, “dura lex sed lex”, “we are not a libertarian institution and we need to catch criminals”, “we need to regulate society for a better future”, “our institutions and bureaucracy are built to prevent such erosion, we won’t go down that slippery slope”, yadda-yadda.
One thing people should realize is that common sense and dignity are above any law, no matter how correctly passed. Concentration camps in Nazi Germany and wherever else were perfectly legal. Those people will build in the future will be perfectly legal too. Hell, those they are building right now are legal and your government (any on the planet) doesn’t argue with that.
And not only that, but you don’t even have to argue against laws invading your freedom, they are simply negligible. You don’t have to prove that you don’t need something, “I don’t want this” is sufficient!
