He doesn't exactly paint the whole picture of a thousand points of data that now follow people around like the armies of flies that mob farm animals. It has become really alarming lately just how quickly and widespread one web search or product view on amazon becomes an annoying fly that accompanies you across EVERYTHING you touch, nagging you to get that thing? Remember that thing? You NEED THAT THING!

When the AI we interact with starts selling things to us, it's going to be a lot like a descent into mental illness. Pretty soon messages about "that thing" will be reverberating around in our heads because it gets shown to us- and told to us- over and over, all the time. Artificial OCD.
