Chasing the uncomfortable
summary
A researcher traces how movies normalize intimate AI then runs personal data to test the reality: platform inferences label interests like 4 weeks of drama and 28 non-fiction books, surface unexpected signals (real estate searches, fertility clinic queries, frequent engaged-shopping clicks), and show that accurate profiling ≠ intimacy. The conclusion is a practical five‑part lens—role, context, trigger, response, meaning—to judge when machine learning creates real companionship versus mere tailored convenience.
