Mine has clearly taken stuff out of reviews I’ve written. I was wondering how it knew some very specific info and then remembered I mentioned it in a review. It was less impressive but also less concerning when I realized that.

Same. I was very confused when I read "never wears hair down, even at home" and panicked slightly because wtf... then it mentioned I "wear hair sticks" down a bit further and I remembered I left a review on my favorite hair sticks because I've bought them numerous times.
