YouTube Doesn’t “Get It”
by wankle on Hacker News.
Today I’m signing out of YouTube and here’s why… You know how you click the X to disable Shorts and it says “Shelf will be hidden for 30 days” but then it pops up again in like a week or less? Or how when you X one of those panels on some topic you have no interest in and it says “Got it, message hidden” then pops back up in a few days? If YouTube is using AI then why is it so demonstrably, phenomenally bad at learning X means NO; not [Ok not today]? If YT does use AI, and if it’s AI is powering any other parts of Google’s (Alphabet’s soup) then could it explain why all Google products suck at remembering basic preferences we tell them? Hey Google AI, NO means NO. Clicking X means NO. No as in forever NO, not just today or the next few days.
