If you are trying to hide something from someone, you create more noise. So much noise around it that even though it's in plain sight, nobody can tell which is real and which is added. Easy examples in Cryptonomicon by Neil Stephenson and The Imitation Game movie. To hide something, you add a shit ton of false information. I imagine conspiracy theorists could be incredibly useful tools/unwitting dupes to various intelligence agencies for hiding the real stories.
AI makes effortless noise. The closer it gets to being indistinguishable from reality, the better the noise. Just like that story of people wearing a fake sixth finger to make camera footage look like AI. AI will make noise, and it will hide a hell of a lot in that noise. AI will definitely be a tool to invade privacy. But it will also be a tool to create privacy, and hide things. Double-edged sword, fun times.
There have been services around where hackers create that noise on social media without AI, but for some reason they didn't catch on.
Will AI make it way easier to drown the real date you want to be forgotten about yourself as a tiny actor? Probably!
But more important is the deep, persistent trend where genuine content published in defiance is noticed & helped forward by the global freedom movement. Standing out against the AI tsunami and "dead internet" is perhaps the best bet, leaving everything else behind...

I think that Artificial Intelligence is a great advance both at a technological level and for humanity. Both its benefits and the not so good things that Artificial Intelligence brings will depend on its use and the use that we as human beings owe it.
