Yeah they spent a few years fine tuning but the gains were limited from the start.

I remember being really annoyed by the whole thing. People went from kale to bacon.

Web 2.0.

These are the same people who create useless team building exercises.

I am surprised at how often I will do something like “Play ‘The Apple Orchard in Saghmosavanq’ by Tigran Hamasyan” and I get back “Now playing Christina Applegate”. It’s like AI latches on to they biggest keyword it can detect and focuses on that even if it violates part of the search parameters.
