    Are you sure that’s not a data broker site? They collect publicly available into, which an include political party, and can get supper invasive like this.

      I’m sure that’s part of it, the bot just pulling from some of those sites and summarizing it in the results. Though I’ve never seen one that includes political party. That part threw me off.

      I remember Facebook can determine your political affiliation, but my relative has never had a Facebook account.

        Yeah, I looked at myself and one data broker that either I missed or hasn’t honored my takedown request lists my political affiliation for a state where that’s public info.

        That’s free info to scrape where available. No need to waste LLM subscriptions on it.
