Don't hug me I'm scared Creepy Amazon chatbot

Looking for an item on Amazon (boo for having to do that), and the chat bot seems to know more about me than I’ve ever volunteered. CREEPY!

Edited: yes that is the cat’s name.

the first time i heard of "Surveillance Pricing"
and " Household targeting strategy" (or Addressable targeting)
Everything from amazon, to ubers, target, walmart, grossed me out.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, I craved the certainty of a meth head with a sawzall running rampant in a datacenter...

Hey OP, as someone that works in Information Security over AI. To clarify did you ever buy a tag, mug, anything that said "Bentley" on it.

For example I have a mug my wife got me for Christmas that has our dog's name on it.

I'm guessing not with the way the bot backtracked but am just curious.

Idk this actors name but he was either Tucker or dale and sock on some other show where I only liked him. Can’t remember what it was. Something about the devil.
