Guess they are opening up about how they be using AI, as invasively as possible, to completely analyze and categorize all users:

"...use AI to analyze entire profiles for contextual clues, such as birthday celebrations or mentions of school grades...The company also looks at visual cues from photos and videos, including a person’s height or bone structure."

Good excuse to collect biometrics!
