And this goes beyond games. Imagine what education looks like when the AI is able to model how the child views the world, and how to get the child to view the world so that they can answer some goal that has been set, and what problems and contexts will best motivate them to reach that goal in the quickest time.

When I read what you wrote I feel like it's more scary than aspirational. I can't imagine how I would feel if the education system had a "perfect" model of what i was supposed to feel like, and how I was supposed to move through the system to feel like everybody else. Layer onto that the question of if the model is actually "perfect" or just telling you that it's perfect and integrating the mistakes ad-hoc. What if the model decided that you were secretly trans, even if you didn't feel like it?

  Personal private models that are not controlled by a company or governmental entity are a human right?

Going really far out here, but if we were able to model how a given child views the world, we'd theoretically be able to model how a given adult views it. We could then query that model and it would respond as that adult. Bam, copied human. Likewise, if the new job of a game writer is to develop the "persona" of a video game character rather than write the character's dialogue, what if someone just dropped the video game angle and described themselves in excruciating detail and included all of their writings in the input? You could copy yourself, just like that childhood diary blogger did. The true long term opportunity here is making a sufficiently competent model and then creating personas from influential people alive today to solve problems beyond their immediate area and lifetime. The long term cost of knowledge work is going to become 0 as our supply of intelligence becomes unbounded by number of brains on earth :)

Once you can do that, people and societies are only puppets, if they don't have analytical and adversarial technologies to counteract that. What you describe is a propaganda officer for every human mind.
