As everybody knows, key strokes and mouse movements are the things that solve problems, definitely the data worth capturing for AI training.

See: https://si.inc/posts/fdm1/

If they captured display output as well, it could be a very useful dataset for generalized computer use.

Maybe they're building a simulation of the rich lives and behaviors of white collar office people in the early 21th century, with breathtaking detail?

I couldn't imagine life without my unique keystrokes and mouse movements.

When you will think about it, what actually useful data are you getting from this exercise? It is like strapping camera on a manual laborer so you can see what he sees, but you don't get data about the touch and grip and you won't get data about why he is doing specific moves.

I dont actually think its for training AI models. AI is the scapegoat - just like the layoffs
