So let’s crank up total surveillance for better auto descriptions of a picture.

We aren’t exchanging freedom for security anymore, what could be reasonable under certain conditions, we just get convenience. Bad deal.

That's one way to do it, but overkill for this specific thing — self-driving cars or robotics, or natural use of smart-[phone|watch|glass|doorbell|fridge], likely sufficient.

Total surveillance may be necessary for other reasons, like making sure organised crime can't blackmail anyone because the state already knows it all, but it's overkill for AI.
