Ignorance or apathy?  I don't know and I don't care? :-)

The AI is a cute idea but there has been a web browser extension for a 
couple of years that crowd-sources terms of service of websites and 
summarises them for you: https://tosdr.org/.  While I don't have much 
faith in humanity, I still trust them marginally more than I trust AIs.
