    TLDR

    A parent says Amazon's auto-personalization concluded he dislikes his son Ellis and loves his daughter Ada more than his boys. He says it even called Ellis 'Smellis.' In a reply, he said he thinks Ada says odd things in Alexa announcements, which are apparently being used for ad targeting.
