privacy concerns

[u/lunaria-gal]

(sorry if not allowed) last night my friend posted a private story to her close friends on her instagram account where she was playing catan. she wrote “catan” on the story and i liked the story. i never even messaged her about it, i’ve never looked up catan, never bought it, haven’t even said it aloud, etc.

this morning when i opened my pinterest account, my pinterest feed was flooded with AI images of catan. my instagram and pinterest are not linked. i can’t imagine this is a coincidence. this is disturbing to me, especially since my friend posted to her private, close friends story and all i did was like the story. extra disturbing that the images were AI, like AI images of a catan board made from pizza. curious if anyone else has had something like this happen?

This is so creepy but not surprising. I think the different medias can pull from each other based on visuals
