And yes, you can ask AI about things of personal interest. These days AI systems are made to talk to ai with you not only about its own thing but also about many other topics like your hobbies, preferences, and lifestyle choices. Pew Research Center found 58% of adults are comfortable using AI for personalized recommendations such as entertainment to fitness as part of a 2023 survey. AI tools can adjust what they say according to what you are interested in, by processing natural language. If they like a certain music, AI will identify of song or artist that fall into that category.
The more you use the AI, the better it gets to learn about your preferred way of working. Through every conversation, it collects more information on what you prefer, how you react, and what topics you engage with most. Take Spotify or Netflix, for example, AI tracks your listening or watching habits to give you suggestions based on your preferences. AI recommendation engines have become so accurate that Spotify’s algorithm has reported a 40% increase in user engagement since it was first introduced.
What is more is that AI is also capable of flourishing through personal interests, covering huge data. Google Assistant, for instance, has the capability to identify the user's preferences about favourite sports, books or even kinds of food. According to Google in 2020, Assistant's feature to suggest personalized information increased user satisfaction by +25%. By supplementing AI with this sort of personally tailored data, it is able to develop interactions that become much less robotic and much more human.
Furthermore, AI is able to be a conversational partner — almost in an intimate way. We see this most prominently in spaces where users are looking for virtual companionship, such as on sites like Replika where users speak about developing deep emotional bonds with the AI. One study found that 60% of Replika users reported discussing personal feelings and daily life events with their AI, a clear indicator of the growing capacity for AI to participate in emotionally nuanced conversation.
So when you discuss your personality with A.I., be it music, film, or art, it comes back at you with left hooks, referencing some serious undercard bout of silent expertise, giving the semblance that it is an actual conversation, never to be made (again) manufactured.
