I just feel that any attempt of a service I use to summarize and analyze my interactions with it, whether it's the AI tool usage patterns or the music I listened to the most over the past year, makes me feel creepy and makes me want to use the service less. Imagine if your local grocery store came back to you saying that you ate this many chocolate bars over the year. Thanks, I know that you know that, but I don't want you to show me that you know that.

I feel this way too except for the music one. The whole reason I use spotify is because I want their algorithm to figure out what music I like.

> ... figure out what music I like.

Isn't that something you determine yourself? I listen to a lot of heavy metal because I like it. I also wander around bandcamp and find stuff that isn't heavy metal, but enjoyable, so I buy it. My brain is my algorithm.

		I do determine it for myself but sometimes I just want to hit play and hear new stuff.

		not everyone has the time to trawl through thousands of bands to find music they like

I would love it if a grocery store, or Uber, or Amazon, made it easy to see my yearly spend. Instead them to intentionally obscure this and try to prevent you from seeing a big number.
