So if you're web based (like me) then activities such as sending an email, checking out YT, reading HN, watching Twitch, and jerking off, all end up as entries in that log file. Do you really think Google would have trained an AI to determine that last activity? How would they have trained the AI?

Presumably you aren't visiting porn sites for the articles. Voila, no AI needed.

  Presumably you aren't visiting porn sites for the articles. Voila, no AI needed. Sloppy. How do they know I'm not preparing for actual intercourse? How do they know I'm not downloading porn for later? I could also be watching gun videos, since they've been hosted there. Granted, it's probably 95% accurate.

  Since I've already outed myself as a porn consumer I might as well get this off my chest: the recommendation engines of the video sites I visit (all the big ones) have poor, very poor AI. It's like they don't know me as a customer. I'm out here busting my balls to find "The Perfect Clip" but it's a jungle and they are not making it easy on me.

>> Do you really think Yes! >> How How graphic do you want me to be? But isn't the real question: is there utility for an ad network to know about your preferences in porn? If there is such utility, you're best to believe Google implemented a way to get them. If I was an ad network I would love to hear about your porn habits. I would absolutely love it.

  How graphic do you want me to be? If you know, you are obviously one of the people who has that data. If you don't know, you aren't. If I was an ad network I would love to hear about your porn habits. I would absolutely love it. Such networks don't have to know whether or not and the exact moment a given user jerks it. Though, it would actually be better if you were actively browsing around and not jerking it currently. I guess that's why discovery and AI are so bad on porn sites. It's actually better for their ad revenue!
