> Spotify's personalization exemplifies invisible AI done right.

Ironically, I can't think of a platform that does personalization worse. Not only does it regularly surface music I don't like, it surfaces the exact same music I don't like over and over again. I don't know whether this is bad recommendation or their pushing music on me (ie payola) but it's supremely irritating.

I would have thought that adding semantic search to a photos app might be a better example of good AI, not these bolted-on-top examples.
