They will monitor your computer this way. They will extract personal information about you. They will use that information against you. They will abduct you and kill you if you behave and answer anywhere rebellious against fascist.

I don't disagree with you, but IMO the background stuff is one of the starting points of the slippery slop(e) to fully AI generated games. They know that fully AI generated games would be torn to pieces by most players at the moment, but the execs will sneak more and more genAI into games if they can count on players getting slowly accustomed to its presence.
