Title
More Book Recommendations from Amazon
Description
I wrote <a href="{app}/view_article.php?id=3819">Book recommendations from Kindle</a> in October of 2019. Since then, the recommendations have not gotten any better.
The following three recommendations have been haunting me for a month.
<img attachment="img_7968.jpeg" align="left" caption="How to Retire on Dividends"><img attachment="img_7952.jpeg" align="left" caption="Her Cowboy Billionaire Best Friend"><img attachment="img_7967.jpeg" align="left" caption="Devious Lies">
<clear>None of these makes any sense for me whatsoever. None of them comes even close to matching my reading history.<fn>
The bodice-rippers are just generic recommendations; the investment book is particularly laughable right now, in our time of COVID-inspired free-fall and an attendant complete reworking of the economy.
I guess the AIs aren't coming for us, after all. They can't even make a halfway-decent recommendation based on pretty extensive reading lists and history at Amazon.
