Hasn't this always been a possibility? People could always record their screen or take screenshots during meetings or whatever

Sure but not built in where you can then do an OS search like “find me text from the call I was just on where it showed their password for a moment.”

Since the invention of traffic lights people could just ignore them.... Now we know some AI "feature" will ignore them.

See the difference?

It's always been a possibility that someone could do this but this makes it a default on feature for a lot of users you might interact with and makes them a prime target for malware to steal the sensitive data that wouldn't have existed in most cases before.
