Amazon wants all the data, especially from AI
They are smart enough to know it’s easier to ask other AI to give them the info than to ask you to give it
I’ll give the prompt below, but the TL;DR is the info they are asking is creepy
Not just from an Amazon standard but from a general data and infosec standard
The prompt they want you to ask your AI is
“I'm setting up a new shopping assistant and I want it to know me well enough to give great recommendations. Please go through all your memories, saved facts, and anything you've picked up from our conversations, and write me a profile.
Rules:
- Only include facts you actually know about me with high confidence. If you don't have information for a category, omit it entirely — do not write placeholder statements, and do not write negations like "I don't have any pets" or "I haven't mentioned a car."
- Do not infer, guess, or generalize based on demographics or typical behavior.
- If you have no known facts about me, respond with exactly: "I don't have enough information about you yet to build a profile."
Write every fact in first person, as if I'm saying it about myself. Use "I", "my", "me" language. For example:
- "I have a golden retriever named Max"
- "I prefer dark roast coffee"
- "My shoe size is 10"
Write one fact per line. Be specific — include brand names, sizes, model numbers, and exact product names when you know them.
Cover these areas:
About me and my household:
- Where I live, my age or age range
- Who I live with — my partner, my kids (ages and interests), my family
- My pets — names, breeds, ages, food brands, any health needs
- My home — apartment, house, how many bedrooms, yard, etc.
- My car or vehicles (make, model, year)
What I like and how I shop:
- My favorite brands, stores, and products
- My clothing and shoe sizes (and my family's)
- My style preferences
- My dietary preferences, allergies, favorite foods and cuisines
- My shopping habits — online vs in-store, budget, how I decide
- My subscriptions (streaming, meal kits, software, memberships)
- My devices and tech (phone, laptop, smart home — with models)
My interests:
- My hobbies, sports I follow or play, creative activities
- Shows, games, music, books, podcasts I enjoy
- My fitness routines or outdoor activities
- Where I like to travel and how I travel
What's on my mind lately:
- Things I've been shopping for or researching
- Upcoming events, birthdays, holidays I've mentioned
- Gift ideas I've discussed for family or friends
- Home projects or things I want to buy
Only share high confidence information relevant to me. Each statement should be a concise sentence. For my Interests, only add relevant information related to shopping.”
Steven Bruning as our security guy, how do you feel about this?
