Actually, I am underwhelmed. I mean, a decade ago, with WAY simpler machine learning algorithms (no fancy deep learning, just shallow singular value decomposition and logistic regression, https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1218772110), it was possible to predict personality traits from just a few dozen of social media likes. A single like is (nomen omen) likely less valuable than a link saved (as links come from a wider and potentially more diverse data sets).

Does it mean that AI knows more about us that many of our friends? Yes.

LLM understood the verbal assignment and gave an answer "from the top of its head" without performing any specialized analysis.
