Instead of algorithms, noplace leverages algorithms to drive suggestions and curation
Most bullshit take I have ever seen. You can't replace a recommendation algorithm with AI, since its basically the same.
You used to have (still have, I think) very simple friends-of-friends algos that are not ML, they are just graph connectivity and distance with some union-joins thrown in the middle. They work for recommendations like steam games of what people who like this game also liked.
OK, thu is an example of a non AI recommendation algorithm. However, what we see now(you watched x so you like y) is basically AI
Not basically, most (current) recommendation systems are AI/ML based. Any big platform is using AI/ML recommendation algorithms.
thanks i hate it here
So disruptive!
It's potentially worse, because before you may have had an algorithm that a human could fine tune or whistleblow on. Now if it is trained on large datasets, the resulting algorithm is usually a blackbox weight matrix, they probably have no idea what pattern it is optimizing :S
Nearly every social media has used Machine Learning to create personalised since a very long time, it was just not marketed as AI..
Yea, by "before" I guess I meant before 2013...which leaves more "after" than "before" for social media ๐ .
