Not fundamentally impossible. Just as a friend may know not to recommend the gig as they're aware of the breakup, so can an AI. Heck after conversing with Pi a few weeks ago, I'm fairly convinced it'd at this point be able to handle that kind of nuance if it had access to the relevant data.

>> but at the last one your girlfriend dumped you

"I've recognized you removed all future calendar events related to {girlfriend} and your recent text messages concerning her had a negative sentiment. Did you break up?"

Not the world I'd want to live in... but for people less concerned about their data, I can't say it wouldn't be useful!
