We humans are superior at curation, discovery, and anticipating our needs.

Depends, I would prefer reco Algos be open source and I can plug in different ones.

Trying to make sense of the mass of data without a personalized recommendation engine is a fools errand.

Related: there are a few channels on youtube that I archive locally, and I always grab the subtitles when I do. I throw them all into a database that I can run queries against if I'm trying to remember which video something was said in. It's not a direct grep of the video, but pretty close!
