As a side note, I find this capability of AI to mine social profiles quite disturbing. Automated profiling of social media accounts can be and is used with malicious intent. The amount of personal detail that can be recovered this way is shocking. It is possible to associate this information with a real identity, and it can be used to target and intimidate individuals.

It's literally what social media is for. People seem disturbed that when they put their private thoughts out on the internet their private thoughts end up out on the internet. I never understood that.
