I have a post percolating about how the algorithm knows me.
Does it know me better than I know myself? If I give everything a 'star' rating, can AI predict what I will like or not like? I recently read the Reality Bubble and the author talks about how the algorithm that tracks your actions across all of your internet activity knows you better than your friends or family. To test that theory, I started putting in star ratings on Movie Lens, and then watching the movies it suggested for me based on all the movies I had rated so far. I have now rated 300 movies and the top choices for me to watch are Valkyrie and Run Lola Run. Previously, after about 150-200 ratings, it suggested:
I loved the Anthropocene Reviewed book in which John Green gives ratings to all of the things in his life.....the entire book is a tribute to the good/bad and why they deserve between 1-5 stars, in his opinion. I recently downloaded the app: Likewise, which allows me to give ratings to podcasts, books, and tv&movies, and will perform the same sort of suggestions as to what I might like. I wish there was a way to tie it into my Goodreads account, because I've rated hundreds of books on there. Is it bad that the internet knows so much about me? What kind of information does my online persona reveal about me?
