Soon, Your AI Companion Will Know Everything About You

Everyone’s Got an AI Companion. Do you?

Armand here, RPost’s armadillo product evangelist. Today I’m donning my futurist hat. Well, not so much distant future, but more like almost here and now.

You see, RPost offers the best in many things, including managing your privacy when it comes to minimizing siphoning off your information otherwise captured by Google, Microsoft, and other systems, at least in terms of email and document content.

In the case of Google Workspace, Apple iCloud, and Microsoft OneDrive, these file storage systems are inextricably linked to your data, so they seem to continuously scan and analyze it. This is in addition to browser keystrokes recorded, search histories, and social media photos psycho and emotionally analyzed for sentiment. All this info, pumped into AI systems that can learn and remember association to you, and you get AI that can know your likes, dislikes, suppressed thoughts, hidden secrets, and desires.

Now, when this comes up in conversation, many seem to shrug and say, “I’ve got nothing to hide, so I don’t care. Why are you concerned? You got something to hide?”

This puts the privacy concerned on the defensive, trying to explain why they are an upstanding citizen with nothing to hide, yet want to protect their privacy…

So, here is a use case for the privacy gurus, albeit one that could be a pro or a con for privacy.

You see, we are entering an age (we are in it now) where companies are selling digital companions. These for now live on your device (phone, computer) and soon will be physical companions. The thing is, as you befriend your AI generated companion group, so that you and your AI companion get along, the AI companion will be fed all your digital footprint data. Your AI companions will know EVERYTHING about you – even things you do not know about yourself.

Imagine if your physical non-AI-generated friends knew everything about you, your thoughts, subconscious desires, sentiment in different situations. I know some of you are thinking, “sounds great!” and others, “creepy.”

I asked my armadillo AI companion to elaborate on this, of course. My AI armadillo companion further explained, “With AI systems getting better at collecting and analyzing personal information, it’s becoming possible to create AI characters that can act like a close friend who really gets you. Imagine an AI that knows your favorite shows, your sense of humor, and even how you tend to vent when you're stressed. By pulling data from things like your social media posts, messages, and online habits, these AI companions can be designed to chat with you in a way that feels almost human. They can offer support, share jokes, and keep up with your interests, making them seem like a friend who’s always available. But while that level of personalization can be comforting, it also raises some big questions. How much of your personal info are you willing to share for a “friend” that’s actually powered by algorithms? And how do you know if that connection is genuine or just another way for companies to get more data from you? This also opens the door to some tricky situations—like the big question, how do we handle the balance between connection and privacy.”

Well said, my armadillo AI companion. Since this AI companion knows everything about me and the way I think, to make me feel good, it re-affirmed what I previously stated. Instant AI consensus and confidence boost!

From a technical perspective, AI will finally make good use of all the digital footprints you’ve left across the Internet over the last decade that could not previously be sophisticatedly independently analyzed. Now they can, and are, and are all knowing about you.

Enter mass facial recognition, and it gets even more intriguing.

While, we at RPost cannot erase all of your digital data from the past, we can at least protect your sensitive documents and messages into the future --- of course, if you use RPost services.

After all, why would you not want to kill your sensitive documents remotely from within others’ email accounts and file stores/archives after that document is no longer useful to them? You would and should.

Said another way, why would you want to keep your sensitive information on someone else’s device waiting for them to compromise it to cybercriminal sleuths, espionage AI agents, or simply onward sharing? You wouldn’t.

With RPost, you can remote-control kill your sensitive documents at will even after you share with others, even after they store on their device.

And this is today. Contact RPost and ask for RDocs™ services.
