In October, Adam recorded a video debunking the myth that eavesdropping on users would be a gross violation of privacy. As an argument, he cited reasons why you might see an ad for something you recently talked about:
— people with similar interests have searched for a similar product, so the recommendation system decided to offer it;
— you previously searched for that product on another site;
— the ad was shown before, you just didn't pay attention to it.
And lastly, it's just a coincidence.

A small detail: right after the video was published, Meta's** management company announced that it would use user conversations with AI to show personalized ads. Oops...
