You're making claims about what everyone (and everything) to ever live after this point in time is going to care about. That's unfounded and kind of presumptuous.

If an AI was being trained to "be" a specific person, why wouldn't their history of Amazon purchases be useful as part of building up that persona? Or on a broader scale, wouldn't patterns of purchases be useful for modelling cultural patterns?
