This is why I don't. I hate it. I talked to a Microsoft guy who wanted to sell me on the great future of AI recommendations a few years back. His argument was that when the AI know I like to discover things it'll recommend me new stuff. That hasn't happened to far. I only start getting recommendations for things I have searched for, usually. Sometimes, rarely, I get some new stuff that I'm incredibly happy about.
But what they can do apparently is recommend me favorite topics of somebody I spend physical time with (the creepy "oh we just talked about this yesterday" moments).
