The description it generated is a stereotype of who I am. It did correctly asses that I'm white though.
It also suggested my income is about a 3rd of what it really is, but the lower income is more inline with the stereotype.

#22Feels a bit rage-baity
Clicking on the example photo of a white family with 3 small children in a field.

Re: They See Your Photos
#23Completely wrong on the political side (maybe because I'm not US-based), but otherwise not bad at all: - astonishing geoguessing - very good inference of some characters traits - and finally quite good ad targeting EDIT: I tried with a few photos (different people in various settings) and each time I got this: "racial bias towards immigrants" - which was always very false. Intriguing. EDIT2: different photos of the s…
It's possible the image you uploaded contains geographic coordinates. EDIT: this is exactly what happened with my image upload, for example
I thought about that but no, they were resized pictures completely lacking EXIF tags.
Re: They See Your Photos
#24Hmm, this seems to just identify the features of the person in the picture and then extrapolates from that generic demographic information, mostly from race. Is it doing more?

Re: They See Your Photos
#26Felt quite off for me: Wrong salary guess, wrong food preferences, wrong political affiliation, partially correct hobbies, wrong ad targeting ideas. What was surprisingly accurate: location and the fact that I (an academic male in his thirties photographed close to the mountains) might like hiking and coffee.
If you knew which bike model I was googling yesterday, almost all of these guesses might have been more accurate.

#27Reads like a horoscope, just vague stuff that's always gonna be slightly true... Picture of me in Oslo and it says "he enjoys travel". And then some really weird stuff: "he may also have a penchant for video games, excessive drinking, and skipping work". Guessing my exact location - Oslo Opera House - was impressive though.
I think it uses exif data for that, because when I tried it did show my location but the vision api was overloaded, so nothing more showed up.

I think this sort of guessing is intended to be combined with additional data the marketers already have, like purchase history, location, social media posts, and so on. Basically the VLM output is treated as another data point rather than the sole source, or the existing data could be fed into the model's prompt before reading the image.
Re: They See Your Photos
#29Yeah, astonishingly wrong in just about every way (except race). If anything, I think I'm less worried than before.

Nope, I uploaded some exif-less photos and in my cases it guessed between somewhat well to astonishing well.
