Costco article has nothing to do with PB but I'm betting the AI is showing me a picture of allergic butter. Frankly dangerous.
Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.
i get that this is supposed to be a joke but just because they can't get a bug fixed doesn't mean they aren't teacking you and recommending you stuff based on your web activity
Honestly, recommendation engines are literally the most primitive shit, especially the ones by large companies.
Audible keeps recommending part 3 or 4 of series where i haven't heard part 1 or 2 or tells me there is a new title in my "favorite series", i.e.g the one where I just stopped listing half-way through a book to instead listen to something else.
Amazon also still hasn't fixed that simple thing where it keeps recommending you a second e.g. washing machine because you recently bought one.
Google recommendations were literally better 10 years ago than they are now though I suppose AI is partially to blame for that one but even before that it "helpfully corrected" searches frequently away from what I was actually looking for just because the term was similar to a more popular one.
I don't doubt that they feed it all kinds of tracking data but the actual algorithm that does anything with that data is literally about as primitive as the "chosen by fair dice roll" XKCD.
Which is probably what they spend the most time and energy perfecting
