It should not be disturbing at all. We have been giving our personalities to marketers since we were born. This is how they advertise to us, finding our segment, getting us to be interested in things, etc.
See Edward Bernays: we are all affected in the last century by this. It is in the air we breathe since the late 1920s.
In short: it was already too late 80 years ago and moreso now.
So, in this case, I’ll explain why I don’t mind “giving my personality” to an AI.
a) what is a personality defined by in psychometrics?
It is a set of adjectives you find agreeable.
Whatever the theories are behind them, the testing comes down to variations of the “Adjective Check List (ACL)” and each “personality test” puts together groups of favorite or least favorite adjectives into personality types.
It seems to work well enough for loosely grouping people in ways they tend to agree to.
So
b) what am I giving when I give my personality to an AI?
Agreeable and disagreeable adjectives along with some life facts it can derive other adjectives from. They can all easily line up and if you’re “this way” with one test, you’ll be “this way” with another test, etc. Not perfectly alignment but close enough. It works for a lot of things. Get the right bunch of adjectives and you have: political stances. Ideologies. Etc.
