Should send it an email that links it into an infinite maze of useless information.

These AI apologists are deranged.

Start taking your privacy back. Use aliases and throwaways whenever possible. https://addy.io/ is free and allows you to create lots of aliases and then delete them later.

while i share the sentiment, the ai model here isn't looking to harvest email ids. their model is to harvest the content of email messages and summarise them into a list of "a citizen's most pressing concerns".

aliases will not allay the qualms of such a service.

Which arguably is a decent use case for it. As it is there's some stranger or in-between going through them for the same reason, at best. And most likely then just putting them into categories, not actually applying any sort of analysis whatsoever for most governments or politicians that receive those emails.

Well, that certainly won't put a dent in folks' willingness to send future Emails to their city gov'ts, now will it??
