I don't think you understand how dangerous a system is that can correlate every factor of every humans post activity and use it to create manipulative profiles for ever human who has ever logged in to anything

Ooh, scary once again. First, let me give you some credit and take the description for face value: How is this omnipotent system going to be created? By humans who err? By current LLMs which dream up names of libraries and functions? And most importantly, how is it going to become capable of manipulating "anyone to do anything" when even "I" do not always know what it is going to take for me to do some arbitrary X, and this is true for almost all humans, save sages/buddhas etc (can't deny they are possible, so count them as existing)?

Your proposed threat looks like a conspiracy theory. Some of them have proven to be actually true, and this is no reason to believe anything
