@loy Exactly. The question to ask whenever someone pitches you a “smart” thing is: “Who’s getting smarter about whom?”

If it’s you (and just you) getting smarter about yourself, that’s perfectly fine.

If it’s some corporation getting smarter about you, then “smart” is just a euphemism for “surveilled.”
