Fundamental is part of the headline and not a quote. She never said that. Stupid headline, sure. Stupid take? Nah. Surveillance is one of the most practical applications of machine learning; they can finally easily sift through all that data they’ve collected.

Fair enough, I genuinely misread and thought that was within the quotation marks. But her message is still wrong because she is still talking about AI in general, but her argument applies only to a) AI whose data is derived from data scrapers like Facebook or b) AI put to surveillance tasks. That does not apply to Stable Diffusion, which is why I mentioned it, but it is caught by her assertion, "AI is a surveillance technology."
