MODERATORS
Our TV has a YT app on it and I never sign in. I have way better experience with it because it randomly suggests stuff that the algorithm would probably think isn't something I like and yet it TOTALLY is something I like.
This is the problem with all these attempts at AI. They don't have the capacity to be actually random when they're using large databases of accumulated input from us.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the non logged in version I'm experiencing is also constrained by my prior choices, but it seems like the data they're holding is much smaller which allows for better chances at a random find.
Plus my kids get on there and search for their weird gamer streamer blah blah BS too which I'm sure really throws a curve ball.
Algorithms ≠ Artificial Intelligence
Sufficiently advanced technology looks like magic, sufficiently advanced algorithms look like artificial intelligence.
Oh, algorithms that write algorithms that write algorithms... they're still algorithms.
