Yes. I wouldn't focus too much on someone being able to tell which map you're playing, and which color your car has in Need For Speed. It's way more unsettling what's in networking equipment. Or inside an Intel Management Engine, and the firmware blobs of all the computer chips. Or the software running on it.

just wait until you know what your graphics card could actually do. live OCR on screen contents, face detection and training on anything ever displayed on the screen. unless I miss something then also direct access to all system memory (when SR-IOV is disabled, or has been set up improperly), write access to onboard firmware, probably access to your drives and network too. same applies to any pci express device you put into your machine.
