Facebook runs one of the top machine learning research labs in the world. They're among the most clever in this domain, by every possible metric. They've written extensively about how they employ machine learning across their entire product line, and are adding more constantly. They've acquired numerous ML startups and world-class researchers.

Respectfully, you're absolutely wrong, and I'm suspicious as to why you'd be intentionally spreading misinformation that they don't use ML/AI to fill in the gaps in their information about their users.

I think it'd be a pretty poor use of ML and AI to use it to try and guess the gaps in your profile, and then fill them in. Of course I'm sure they try and show you content and adverts based on what they believe your demographic profile might be, but these beliefs are purely internal to the algorithms that make the decisions as to what to publish - they aren't used to populate your public profile.
In fact, Facebook want the profile information to come from you and for it to be as accurate as possible - to help those algorithms. It wouldn't be sensible or useful to just set your profile fields based on guesses, no matter how clever the ML behind it. As I said before, I think people ascribe too much intelligence to the way Facebook handles personal information - it isn't magic.
Actually, the LinkedIn profile is the most likely, people often try these things, signing up and click-thru acknowledging everything without thinking, then never touch the app again. All I'm saying is that often what you think of as external is actually caused by actions you performed and then forgot about, or never really registered in the first place. Although, some of this may well be down to 'Dark Patterns'in the UX, which should really be investigated and changed.
I do have a FB connection to the place, though.
