9990: In Google offices, you can find "Machine Learning optimized cookies". At least, you could pre-COVID, dunno now. There's even a published paper on it: https://research.google/pubs/pub46507/
I used to work with the lead author of that paper. He's one of the smartest devs I know and has a great sense of humor. I'm not surprised that he would publish something like this or that he ended up at Google.

9989 will never work because people won't do it in good faith, they'll do it in whatever way they believe will make their music or their friend's music more popular. Go check out the mess that tags are on soundcloud.

Are you looking for something like https://www.kialo.com/?
9990 - Chef Watson had this a decade ago, there's also been few restaurants offering dishes the AI came up with.
Isn't #9981 basically what HN is?
No, I think the idea is to have two separate groups. Each group member can make a suggestion for the group's next reply. Only the best-voted suggestion is sent on to the other group.
Let's not give ourselves too much credit :)
Yes, it sounds almost exactly what HN and Reddit is.
I would be interested to hear what OP meant and how it would be different.
9986 is simply genius

That's what I am working on with finclout. Looking to expand the team.
#9986: Movie recommendation engine based on subtitle analysis. Comparing mean word and sentence length, words-per-hour mean, dialogue density variation over time, lexical complexity and vocabulary overlap will uncover similarities in the fabric of tone, pacing and subject matter.
#9989: A website where people can define and popularize musical genres by listing a few exemplar songs, describing their perceived shared qualities and linking to samples. Seed songs can be similar in their entirety or just part of duration. Others can then suggest more that fit.
#9990: A random restaurant, where a computer creates random bite-sized combinations from a big list of ingredients. Each time, this will result in a unique new interplay of flavor and texture. Personal scoring will uncover correlations of what goes together or performs comparably
