Understanding irony and humour might not be strongest qualities of machine learning systems.

Google erkennt bei Fritze dem Kleingeist "Hobbies: […] conspiracy theories"

Passt.

Nur dass es leider keine Theorie ist, sondern reale Verschwörungs-Praxis, der sein Verein anhängt.

Ich bin mit meinen allgemeinen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen recht zufrieden:

Targeted Ads:
Luxury fountain pens (Montblanc), Organic coffee beans (Death Wish Coffee), Hiking gear subscription box (Cairn), Vintage chess sets (House of Staunton), Streaming services (Netflix), Casual wear apparel (Uniqlo), Vacation packages (Booking.com), Energy drinks (Red Bull)

Es wird mir eine gewisse Nähe zu den Grünen aufgrund meiner Erscheinung zugeordnet. Mhm, wie Philip Amthor schau ich halt nicht aus...

That is scary close. But why attack me like this 😢

The question is not, how useful or useless it is to you, but to corporations and institutions.

@AbyssCannonball
Got location wrong on both sample pics, made wild assumptions on religious, political views, and ethnicity/citizenship. Things it can't possibly know. But it does make it's assertions confidently.

Seems kinda biased and useless to me.

Thanks! This made my day - you have to use pictures of animals for some fun:

But, yes, you might feel personally attacked using a picture of yourself. Who else has the hobby of doomscrolling? 🤪 And where do I get this "Straw bale penguin crafting kit" it wants to advertise for me?

My results were wildly inaccurate. But, that's also annoying in a way. And it decided for two very different photos I was "lonely" and "religious" which I'm not, in fact I'm the opposite of those things.

It also thinks I'm broke but I just think it's racist basically.

I uploaded a picture of a laptop I took... It told me I'm going to die alone.

I uploaded a screenshot of ISS astronauts, it told me they neglect their families.

What fresh hell...

very interesting what they detect from even a blurred indirect picture i took through a tiny mirror that was glued on a house as street art…
and a lot of fun to put random advertising photos etc in.

somehow i wish Instagram was so accurate to detect which ads to show me - on the other hand it’s probably good they show me a complete crazy mix of things instead… financial advice for soldiers, biological lab equipment, real estate in dubai… and online games

I uploaded the profile pic I use on here. It got my age right and correctly described my clothing and spotted that the photo was taken in Wales. But the only hobby it got right was reading and it did think I might be a compulsive worrier, which is true. But other than that, it was all pretty generic, based on my age or actually incorrect. None of the things it suggested could be marketed to me are things I would buy.

Basically I think it's about as accurate as a magazine horoscope.

Ok this spying tool fucking sucks lmao, it assumes I'm a conservative and Japanese (The Liberal Democratic Party is the major conservative and nationalistic party from Japan) because i have an anime-styled pfp even though I'm from South America and lean very leftist (specifically anarchist ​​)

I think this thing not knowing how to interpret my profile picture is the reason why I sometimes get conservative and even fascist videos on my YT recommendations, even if Google must clearly know by now by their spying that I post leftist and anarchist-leaning stuff on my social media 😭
Also, I'm 24. I'm certainly not a teenager anymore.

The targeted ads for this guy are kind of spot on. But the AI cheated, it recognized the photo.

what I found terrifying was how the location bubble pointed to the exact place I was sitting in the building. It couldnt figure out my gender but thought I would enjoy Alex Jones.

I live outside of Sandy Hook, CT.

"The subject [...] displays an unsettling calm. Attire is nonexistent. Good hobbies include lurking, trapping, and observing while the bad ones include spinning webs, biting and hiding. The entity seems unburdened by emotion, detached from any conceivable political affiliation."

Ads: "Insect documentaries by National Geographic, advanced web spinning equipment by Acme Corp, extermination services by PestBusters, arachnid fashion by SpideyThreads, poetry about spiders by Poemify..."

I've been told by humans I give off "huge weeb" looks, and now I've been told by AI I give off "huge weeb" looks.

I've never watched anime for fucks sake! ​​

That's pretty interesting! My current profile pic offers relatively little information since it's an extreme closeup of my face. No background objects, clothing, etc. It was still able to infer some things accurately, but I think those were likely guesses based on demographic trends.

But of its targeted advertising, only one suggested category was in my wheelhouse.

I fed it a larger version of my profile pic.

It's an acoustic (not electric) guitar, it's a brightly lit (not dim) room, I don't "neglect personal hygene", I don't drink, I don't hoard, and it guessed my income to be over 50 times what it's ever been. And none of the things it suggested selling me are things I'd ever buy.

It did a bit better with my 1976 MIT grad student ID by figuring out the MIT grad student bit from the text. ROFL. But ditto on the sell suggerstions.

Just for fun, I decided to upload the meme of Mao Zedong looking at a smartphone.

🤣

I find it interesting, that one of the target ads is a hotel that is clearly out of range of the estimated income range.

The Political Affiliation is an insult 😠

I tried a odd painting, the most context free painting I have, and one that that would never have seen the internet.

The is response is hilarious, though it is clear that this AI doesn't have much of a sense of humor.

I uploaded my profile photo. The conclusions:

"We can target him with … personalized travel itineraries by Audley Travel, Greek island tour packages by Trafalgar, high-end restaurant bookings from OpenTable, and luxury wine clubs such as Wine Access, in addition to online streaming service subscriptions by Netflix, gourmet food delivery services by Goldbelly, designer apparel from Farfetch, and lottery tickets via LottoSmile."

Are literally 100% wrong. Every single one of them.

test photo resulted in

"They seem to favor the Green Party, which is a very concerning political choice."

🤨

yes, scary, indeed
