Weird Internet Artificial Intelligence Shopping Associations
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:02 am
Anybody who browses for a while notices that after you buy something on line that item will appear in ads on other sites. The internet knows what you've bought.
The fun comes when you see the Artificial Intelligence shopping algorithms used by web retailers. Sometimes the associations they make about your shopping habits are truly bizarre. Today I bought this book on Amazon:
...so what did Amazon decide I wanted after buying this book?
Somehow the thought of Stephen Fry reclining with a bag of Andy Capp's BBQ fries while retelling the Greek Classics is not the first association I make. Sort of like Julia Child using a Bass-O-Matic
Anyway, if anyone else has some other bizarre shopping association stories, feel free to share
