Sadly, Percisely. Digital Forensics (the evidence of nothing by the way, a great book), is approaching little more than gluing together datasets from various completely fungible entities. I too could be a master investigator if I could simply compel various busnisses to gift me the tables needed!
Pretty soon they will be able to run all our information through a language model.
Models could identify "suspicious" behavior and generate plausible theories to fit the desired witch hunt, based on what they read. Scary.
The eventuality is of course a dystopian thought police situation, where simply thinking or even Googling something suggesting you were even contemplating something illegal will be grounds to charge you with the crime.
