It's from 15 years ago because it's super easy to track shopping for something like a pregnancy.

There's zero "AI" needed, even if such a thing existed.

I don't think you understand at all, not even a bit.

It wasn't that the women were shopping for pregnancy items, its that they were shopping for other normal items just in the pattern that pregnant women tend to shop for early in the pregnancy.

Like I said, a ton of women getting the notice WERE NOT AWARE THEY WERE EVEN PREGNANT YET!

But you deliberately misunderstand to shift the focus away from the ACTUAL problem.

It was target not walgreens, and it was probably not even real. Please stop belligerently pushing unsubstantiated bullshit as if it's incontrovertible fact. https://www.kdnuggets.com/2014/05/target-predict-teen-pregnancy-inside-story.html
