Funny that it knows this, yet chooses to ignore it.

Amazon being ableist, the preferred term is diminished gluteal syndrome.

/s

Just checked and Amazon has this for my buttocks “Fully caked buttocks”.

Anybody know what this means?

I hope i have one thats says 'she called us twats'

“Systematically building electronics laboratory.”

That’s so much nicer than saying I’m constantly trying and failing at my hobbies as I realize how little I know and how ill prepared I am for my ambitions.

Why are so many of you still shopping with Amazon? Genuinely I do not understand it.

"Likely lives in City, State"

Birch you ship everything I've ever ordered to the same address. Best you can do is "likely"?

I hope everyone has added this to their file about Jeff Bezos

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos also has numerous private dinners with Epstein. They were good friends.

What a judgemental slop.

Also holy shit it's so wrong on rest.

Mine doesn't have anything of a particularly personal nature, just obvious stuff from purchase history like:

• Likely favors Merrell brand for outdoor footwear (I have purchased the same model of Merrell shoe several times)
• Hikes frequently (a reasonable guess about someone who repeatedly buys hiking boots)
• Likely has a ThinkPad laptop (I bought trackpoint caps)
• Likely owns an Olympus camera (I bought a battery for an Olympus camera)

Since no one is linking the page and I had to go hunt it down myself: https://www.amazon.com/slc/hub?useAiMode=1

Mine doesn't have anything interesting, probably because I avoid using Amazon if possible.

You guys have Slavery – The Company accounts?

You know, I'm actually kindof proud that Amazon figured this out about me...

I am proud of my Beyblade collection, lol.

I love how it categorizes my full time professional job, which I did a degree in and everything, as a "hobby."

"Has a cat"

Ha ha bitches, I have TWO cats! Suck it big data, you LOSE!

Mine is pretty straightforward, "builds electronics" "has precision tools" "likely has a french press" (I do, I bought it on Amazon), "prioritizes high-speed data transfer", "Probably has a computer system with internal expansion" (I bought an NVMe SSD from Amazon once), "Likely lives in (the town in my saved shipping address)"

So surveillance. Much sleuthing.

Mine is pretty boring. Honestly, I imagine Amazon has a much deeper profile for us hidden away and this is the one they wanted us to find to diffuse our suspicions of being constantly spied on... Seriously, I bet me TV knows more about me than that list.

Hilariously I apparently am big into adheasivly mounting things and also buying batteries. Nothing about my buttocks, sadly.

Oh. And I prefer Anker chargers.

Lmao they think I have kids.

…actually now that I think about it for 5 seconds I think they just love defrauding advertisers.

Seems to only work on Amazon.com. My .ca info isnt shared. It says the following though:

"Make Amazon even more personal to you

Your other AI assistants have learned about you. Bring that knowledge here for an even more personalized experience."

I think I'll go chuck my computer and iot devices into a dumpster now.

Everyone getting mad that they made a profile about you, but nobody acknowledging that you can edit the info and make them believe crazy things about you.

Damn, nothing about how extensively I told them to get fucked when they put ads in Prime Video

Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying "I dont even have an Amazon account". Makes me sad.

Honestly I am not surprised at all that they have this. I'm more surprised that this information became public, but with AI I suppose it was inevitable.

Not terribly insightful-

Mine was empty, i am kinda glad about it, it means they did not have enough info about me, not even by brokers Btw, i added

Mine says "Builds Xbox controller collection gradually." I buy my husband a new controller about every 8 months because the sticks start to drift. Maybe it should say Xbox makes shit products.

Seems like this is just an American thing. I have a German and an American account and couldn't find the "About You" page on the German one. Man, I love GDPR

• Likely favors ZigBee smart home protocol
• Plays video games across multiple platforms
• Consistently repurchasing specialty food staples
• Likely has outdoor space

Though it definitely gets a lot of other things wrong, like the number of kids I have.

I was expecting to be horrified but mine actually made me feel pretty good lol

I prefer Anker USB devices, I grow plants as a hobby, and I consistently maintain dog supplies!

The only thing it got wrong is it thinks I have kids. But I guess I only really use amazon to get stuff for my dog and my sister's kids so that's no surprise

If someone wants to generate a database of Lemmy users preference, this comment section is a much cheaper way than setting up an entire company like Amazon.

I've gone through and deleted everything as a matter of principle.

I feel attacked by this headline.

Heh. Just logged in to my Amazon account (which I seldom use) and it's got nothing on me.. which is JUST how I like it! Guess ticking all the privacy and security settings and using ad-blockers and a super edited hosts file (Dan Pollock's - for decades now..) and using throwaway email accounts for all of this shit is working!

Niiiice.

I can't get enough Boris detritus

What's the cheapest way to gaslight these data points?

Let's say one has $10 to spare, what would you buy to ruin their model?

I don't have Amazon

does anybody have the link to the about you page? I want to send it to friends

found the link https://www.amazon.com/slc/hub?useAiMode=1

is it .com only?

I just checked mine. It says “probably has a dog”, “probably has workshop”, “probably has outdoor space”, prefers organic, and I have 6 hobbies. Gardening, backpacking, mountaineering, swimming, professional jewelry making and painting lol. I’m adhd. I’m not a mountaineer I just had to buy ice axes and microspikes last minute for a backpacking trip because the snow didn’t melt before our permit date. I mean we did scale mountains in the snow so I guess im a mountaineer now. I try to buy as little as possible from Amazon.

About you We haven't saved anything yet.

Phew.

Hahahaha... now I'm kind of sad I deleted my account after Amazon kept trying to scam me by offering me free Amazon prime. They would give me a month free, then like 10 days, then only like 3 days, hoping I would forget and have to be charged for it. When they finally caught me out, I just told them to fuck off and deleted my account. Never liked their other predatory practices, like how they would plagiarise and sell existing products for dirt cheap and label them Amazon Basics... And then when companies would go out of business. They would bring up the prices. I guess you don't get that wealthy without stepping on a lot of people.

Mine has nearly everything other than brand preferences wrong, since I buy both my stuff and other people's stuff plus gifts through the same account.

"Maintains consistent snacking preferences" the most specific one "Owns rasps" If it really got me, it would call me out on what I usually use Amazon for...   Last minute project stuff.

The one that got me was "probably has a husband who doesn't like lotion"

I always figured Amazon knew the most about me because what you buy probably says more about you than what you search. Like Google may think I'm a raving lunatic but Amazon knows I am a householder and what I use. So I was honestly pretty relieved most of it was very general except that oddball example above.

The cold weather ebiking stuff is funny and unique, it would be a "no shit" if it realized I live in Minnesota, but because this account predates my move Amazon just doesn't have a "lives in place" listing for me.

So it's definitely pulling from Whole Foods sales info too, I noticed their self checkout recognizing me when I used the same credit card they have on file. There's a Whole Foods across the street from the vape shop I used to go to and they were the only place anywhere nearby that carried a local brewery NA beer that I like, and those purchases have to be the source of the "non-alcoholic specialty food" thing.

They probably should have made customer-facing descriptions more-flattering.

Not only did they have my age range completely inaccurate they've also listed camping as a hobby. I don't even own a tent, I have no idea why they think I like camping. I've never bought any camping equipment from them, I've never accessed the website from communal wi-fi in a campsite. I don't know where they're getting this assumption from.

Nothing like “falsely reports products as stolen to get a refund while keeping them.” Phew! I mean… damn porch pirates!

Fuck off, you buy one marital aid and you get this shit

They pegged me as someone who reads cheap ebooks, only reads Dungeon Crawler Carl, pretty much buys only D&D battle mat books, and shops from womens departments. I’m a married male, but that last one had me laughing. I have bought things for my wife in the past.

Mine is all electronics, gaming, and 3D printing, which absolutely checks out given my purchase history and reviews. Also something like "prefers high resolution display connectivity" because I bought some cables? WHY WOULD I PREFER LOW RESOLUTION DISPLAY CONNECTIVITY ALEXA? WHY?

It's so confused about me because my whole household uses one Amazon account.

I haven't even got that page on the UK site. Looking at things they recommend I buy, I see the usual collection of things I bought once years ago, and completely random shit that I'd never be interested in in a million years. All that data collected, for what? How these people are worth trillions I'll never know.

is this an american thing?

the path to get to "shopping preferences" is different for me than the article says, and then it just has three sections with no contents. clothing & shoes, interests, pets — none have any info in them

That's boring

Home and family: Has working nodes

Hell yeah, I'll take that assumption

They got so much wrong it's hilarious.

About the only thing they got right is that we have chickens and like comfy clothing, and one mention based on a five year old review. Literally everything else was junk.

Mine is pretty meh. Gets a lot right, but thinks I have a dog and I prefer zigbee. I have a cat (that I've bought dog accessories for) and prefer Z wave, but usually buy those things elsewhere.

Most of the things it has are directly related to a single purchase that I remember. It thinks I like a certain brand of monitor because I bought two of them for secondary monitors once. They are no-name monitors and I could not care less about the brand. It's pretty basic shit. I could probably write the algorithm for it.

They said I upgraded my computer hardware in the past year which is funny because I mean have you seen the prices?

It's probably pulling from me buying a keeb as a gift but I wouldn't consider peripherals as part of computer hardware lol. Technically but also not really

How do you get to this page

I was just looking at mine today. Systematically?

Not in Japan yet, at least on my account. I only use amazon a couple of times a year for things I can't get anywhere else, but it should have plenty of history to work with.

I hope people dont go an modify it, by stating truth

I can't find this page on my app 😞

I wanted to know if I can stop doing hip thrusts yet

"orders a bizarre amount of soap"

Haha, this thread has turned into an excuse to share ones hobbies and interests eh? I won't be tempted!

I had to check, it talks about what pets I have. And incorrectly states my preferred brand for reptile supplement and habitat equipment. I somewhat expected more. But I guess I really only use Amazon to order aquarium lighting.

Mine seemed to have pulled knowledge based on things I've mentioned in reviews. Otherwise it just seems to be pretty mundane for things like order history...yep, someone with a dog profile picture and who occasionally orders dog products may in fact, have a dog. The thing it gets tripped up on is things ordered for my kids or relatives from my account (but aren't necessarily gifts or shipped elsewhere)

Well they must have quite the file on how I lose my shit when they cheat me.

I never deleted my account so I checked and the most it knew about me was like, playes pc games extensively and thats probably bc i purchased some pc components a long time back. Also said i make bread at home regularly. Jokes on you amazon that bread machine i bought that i always think about using more has sat unused for 2 months
