It doesn’t read your mind. It gives output, that’s not the same thing as mind reading any more than the polygraph was lie detection. The real threat was and always has been cops and the state.
I was talking about the historical presence in sci fi and pop culture of fear of mind reading machines in general, as opposed to this specific one.

People really just got annoyed about you missing the context of a comment (science fiction and cultural depictions of the future) and asking clarifying questions until you got it.
