Mostly a bad thing. Even Avtar thinks he shouldn't have been able to find his mother using AI. Not to mention, many people don't want to, and shouldn't, be found.

To be fair (perish the thought regarding 'ai'), anything that is posted on the internet will potentially always be out there. I feel for whoever runs the Sohavi website. I wonder how much it's scraped every day and if they consented to having their articles permanently stored in a corporate ai's database.

I'm sure people with violent stalker exes or family members they successfully escaped are thrilled to hear about this

How did people survive before exposing data about themselves to the internet.
