Google has as much data on me as anyone is ever going to have.
At a minimum, it knows I'm middle aged and have a family, and where I live.
And yet, this morning it adviced me to go to a youth-hostel-with-nightclub in my own city (via Google assistant or whatever the thing in android is called).
I can't imagine this is due to lack analytical/focusing capabilities that will be solved by AI, it's just that the interest of ad providers and ad buyers is clearly not aligned.
- dedup 1y agoI've just read a post on Reddit, in which a middle-aged man with family suddenly realized that his (appropriately aged) daughter watches videos made by middle schoolers and leaves comments like "you are a cute boy". Much to his horror, under his account.
- riffraff 1y agoThat'd be hilarious but my oldest child is 10, and I think advertising a nightclub to her wouldn't be great advertising either.
