Their AI agents will be stronger than yours. They'll watch you 24/7 and make sure you're not doing that – verify there are no non-approved gadgets in front of your eyes; verify that there are no visible analog-gap-defeating tools anywhere in your physical proximity. Nothing will escape the machine's notice: no detail too small or subtle for a bored yottaflop God with nothing in the world to do but watch you.

You'll be free to opt out, though most of the internet will be unusable without Environment Integrity.

I don't understand what AR has to do with this

Analog gap. An AR headset that classifies ads in its field of view and filters them in real-time. Adversary model being, the evil Googleborg fully control your web browser and the OS it's running on – but you still control the gap between the display screen and your eyeballs.

AR?

The grandparent likely means Augmented Reality; they may be imagining a strange world where you wear glasses that filter ads out of your vision, and yet those ads are on a computer screen you view rather than right there in the headset being projected onto your eyes.

Shut up and take my money

AR seems like a gimmick/fad. I think we’re more likely to see eyeball scanning ads/AI ala Minority Report instead.
