Then an AI can build a profile of the commenter and guess where you live, what languages you speak, and what your politics might be.

Those data points are not difficult to find out, though.

I mean, if FloridaBoy comments "Fuck Biden", you don't have to guess much. LOL

As a defence to these AI spy tools, someone else could write a script that inserts random nonsense within a comment to poison the text for AI data scrapers.
