I seem to emit some kind of anti-AI field - voice recognition works about 40% of the time so is basically useless, recommendation algorithms seem to recommend stuff I have already watched or seem completely random and as for the mechanisms that select adverts - Youtube seems to be taking the approach of showing me the same adverts again and again and again (and yes, I do click thumbs down on them) until I passionately hate the products being advertised to me (because I watch videos about cars does not mean I want to watch the same BMW 8-series advert for a few months).

The recommendation algorithms seem to be just the most simplistic type of pigeon holing. Think Netflix, just because I watched a European political thriller last week, it is assumed I now want to watch this genre for eternity.
