How can you argue that trivial data somehow implies private data?
The term you’re looking for is “security through obscurity”. The effort require to create a coherent picture from that scattered information is more than its worth, so it doesn’t get done. The argument here being that AI changes that calculation because it removes the effort part.
Security through obscurity has been disproven long ago and AI sifting through your obscure data with ease is a great example how this approach doesn’t work.
