I think it's instructive. Some people are saying, "I know what I want, just help me find it".<br /><br />Artificial intelligence is good when it works, but when it's not so accurate it can be harmful. If I get a personalized newspaper, and I trust it to include all news that is relevant to me, then I might miss a lot of important articles when the newspaper's choices are perhaps 'just' 5% innaccurate.<br /><br />The philosophy of 'show me what's popular, let me search/browse for what I specifically want' is probably powerful enough to outperform any AI engine that is not 99.5% accurate.<br /><br />Amazon.com "people who bought/viewed this item also bought/viewed for" is a 'show me what's popular' feature.<br /><br />I think that deep down human beings have this attitude: "Dear computer, I don't need you to make decisions for me. I just need you to make it easier for me to make those decisions."Seun Osewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257184260827538727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1107910024497787372005-02-08T16:47:00.000-08:002005-02-08T16:47:00.000-08:00Jezzzzzzzzzz.. what a crucial question thought !!
...Jezzzzzzzzzz.. what a crucial question thought !!<br /><br />Looking back .. my second preference on web2.0 is bloglines.. I want to be able to see the chatter... Primary I still log onto my public email first.. and then log onto http://peterdawson.typepad.com.. or rather typepad.com to get ready to blog.. <br /><br />just wondering what this means . in social dynamics ??Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518551787084170921noreply@blogger.com
