Instead of algorithms, noplace leverages AI technology 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.

    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
