Amazon About You

I don't know whether this is new, but it is making headlines because the new AI descriptions have been "roasting" customers and including weird with comments like:

"has flat buttocks"
"has never known anyone who has lost a leg in an accident"
"Post-economic (still hardworking)"

It isn't fully accurate. AnnoyingDroid's profile said that his house is 37,000sf (3400sm), "puts everything they own through a filter," "eats once every ten weeks," and has 400 children.

Go to your user profile and down in the blue links (not up in the "cards") you'll find an About You link.

I skimmed mine a couple of days ago.  Sadly, there were no "brutish masculinity" comments.  OTOH, there were no "complete nerd" notes, either.

Most were generic, though I did see one about "prefers stainless steel for outdoor items" that was on target. So, like Gemini, I think AlexAI is worth training with my preferences.  Today, after reviewing a selection of amber 3d filaments I went back and told it why I chose a particular one (prefer more transparent petg). It replied: I'll make a note of that.

Mine said I recently expanded my home gym, which was true and pretty easy to guess since one of the items I bought was on Amazon and I did a lot of shopping there.

OTOH, it also said I am really into Fuli Japanese sheets. I don't even know what those are.
