What's your take on his points? I wholeheartedly disagree with him but I don't know how to properly voice why. I wanna hear what you guys have to say.

Profiling and tracking do not - I repeat - do not serve your convenience. Showing you ads that you are likely interested in means a higher chance to sell you things you don’t want. Mixing in private messages etc and feed it into an LLM will result in extremely targeted advertising with highly convincing content.

Just imagine how much public good could be done if the professionals designing advertisements for maximum mental hijacking for corporate enrichment were doing something good for society, like providing therapy.
