Pretty funny. I gave it several reddit accounts I have used over the years and my HN account and it decided I would probably like to buy a Sodastream for most of them but for others it recommended I buy a melamine cleaning sponge.
I don't drink sodas at all. I'm a coffee and tea drinker (iced or hot). The accounts with the most posts ended up suggesting the sodastream whereas the accounts with the fewest posts preferred the sponge.
I was complimented by the analyses that were presented so I'm totally okay having this NLP model determine that I am a great guy overall and I'm willing to overlook the things that seemed out of place.
I had to make multiple tries to get it to do anything with a reddit account so it must have been really busy since it was definitely not even close to instant.
EDIT: I think the ground truth should be to have a real human check out post histories and score someone using their standards and then compare it to these results. In my results I saw overlap between accounts along several themes and that to me served as an ego stroker. Hopefully in real life people see the same characteristics as were highlighted by this NLP.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoI was recommended a sodastream too, but I already have one... I love sparkling water.
- doodlebugging 4y agoI fed my wife's reddit account to it and it suggested she would like a resin printer that cost a lot more than the geegaws it produced could sell for. LOL. I'm pretty sure that if she ever had wanted a resin printer I would already be working around it. When she decides to get something she gets it and never worries about the cost or the utility of it. She researches things and buys quality so she doesn't need to spend that money twice. And, if she thinks I could use something, she gets it without buying the junk version of the tool or item. The best wife ever.
