The problem with this claim is that it’s misleading to ordinary people. The sniff test is easy: if *my* data doesn’t matter for constructing the model, why do you need it?

And the answer is that your data is essential to building the model.

What’s actually happening here is that the model relies on collecting statistical aggregate data from collections of people. It may not know that you’re a person who likes eg specific types of private media. But if there are others like you, it learns to recognize you as a group.
