Here’s something. I’m currently working and exploring a lot with A.I., so for fun I exported my music collection via MusicBee to Excel, just the albums. I then imported the music collection to GROK with the following prompt:

Exact Prompt:
Act as a specialist FBI profiler. This is a music collection. Analyze and try to give as accurate as possible a personality profile of the person who has accumulated this exact music collection. Examine the evidence and present a likely picture of the the person whose music collection this is. You are allowed to ask questions if that helps you with the task.

Grok delivered a lengthy analysis (6 pages!) of the music collection, taking a look at the various genres it found, and what this suggests for the individual. Was quite interesting

It started with:

To create a personality profile of the individual who has accumulated this extensive music collection, I’ll analyze the provided data as an FBI profiler would, focusing on patterns, preferences, and potential psychological insights derived from the collection. The collection, documented in the “Library of ALAC Albums.xlsx” file, contains entries spanning a wide range of genres, artists, and eras, with a strong emphasis on film scores, classical music, jazz, and select pop/rock artists. Below, I’ll break down the analysis into key observations, followed by a detailed personality profile.

Then it continues an in depth look at the various genres it found (film score, classical, jazz, etc.) and what the select recordings probably indicate. Goes on for a while, quite interesting.

The final summary looked then like:

Likely Picture of the Individual:
The individual behind this music collection is likely a highly intellectual, detail-oriented, and introspective person with a deep passion for music as an art form and storytelling medium. They are probably in their 40s to 60s, with a strong nostalgic connection to the music and films of the late 20th century, particularly the 1980s and 1990s. Their collection reflects a scholarly approach to music, with an emphasis on completeness, quality, and historical significance, suggesting a personality that values knowledge, precision, and emotional depth. They are likely an audiophile, with an interest in high-fidelity sound and possibly audio technology. While they may enjoy solitary activities like curating their collection, their global and eclectic tastes suggest an open-minded, culturally curious individual who appreciates the intersection of music, film, and history. Professionally or as a hobby, they may be involved in music, film, or a related field, or they could simply be a dedicated enthusiast with a lifelong commitment to collecting and preserving music. This profile is a hypothesis based on the patterns in the collection. Additional information about the individual’s motivations, lifestyle, or personal history would help refine this analysis further.
