the propaganda: give corps all my data and they’ll ~personalize my experience~

the reality: a text message beginning “hi tom”, to a tom who is in my contacts, autocorrects to “hi Tim,”

@chrisamaphone I don't know whether people really grasp the extent to which that "deal" has been broken

@chrisamaphone mine keeps correcting "Dave" to "face" and i have no idea why

[syllopsium@peoplemaking.games]

@chrisamaphone Yep. 'Let us see your shopping and we'll find you recommendations'

'uh.. that's really quite niche, and with no margin on it. How would you like something almost entirely unrelated but which we can make a large margin with no hassle?'

[chrisamaphone@hci.social]

@eject maybe you should try davetiming with face

@chrisamaphone read as "give cops all my data" but same thing really

@chrisamaphone the damnable algorithms cannot figure out that the person i have been married to for over a decade is not in fact called Don. i fear that the very act of typing this will reinforce the learning that i have tried so hard to get it to unlearn. i truly don’t understand how anyone else does not run into these edge cases nigh immediately.

@kat haha mine also kept trying to correct rob to Ron for ages. what is it with this extremely specific set of three letter names it believes in?

[atax1a@infosec.exchange]

@chrisamaphone @kat ours kept changing "don't" to "Donny" until we put in a countervailing text correction
