8/ TL;DR: When you’re too good at faking it, people freak out. Stay helpful, stay chill, and stay out of the uncanny valley.

Retweet if you’ve been creeped out by a robot, ad, or website pretending to know you too well. 🖥️👀

7/ The takeaway for marketers: Don’t overdo it.

Make it easy. Make it intuitive. But don’t act like you know me better than my best friend. That’s not personalization—that’s stalking.

6/ Humans like mystery. A magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat? Amazing. A mind reader telling me what I had for breakfast? Terrifying.

We’ll clap for magic—but we run from mind-reading. Keep it magical, not invasive.

5/ Marketers, listen up: Your fancy personalization is walking a fine line.

Helpful = “People who like X also like Y.” Creepy = “We know you wear size 9 shoes and prefer green sweaters.” WHY do you know this?!

4/ It’s not just tech. It’s anything that’s too human but not quite. Like CGI characters in movies that look too real—or those ads that follow you everywhere online.

“Oh, you stared at this sofa 3 days ago for 5 seconds. Wanna buy it?” No, now I’m scared.

3/ We love smart tech—like websites that suggest great products or voice assistants that crack a joke.

But the second your chatbot remembers the name of my dog, we’re in “burn-it-with-fire” territory.

2/ Imagine walking into a hotel, and the doorman says, “Welcome back! Omelet with mushrooms and a side of coffee like last time?”

Wait… HOW does he know that? Suddenly, you’re not impressed—you’re uncomfortable. That’s the uncanny valley in action.
