I think this is part of why I've been using the term, "AI" less and less.

Because this just sounds like a recommendation algorithm, rather than anything that's an LLM or genAI.

I mean, they probably _could_ use an LLM, but it'd be worse and less efficient than having some sort of well-tuned algorithm.

(Regardless, I'm glad the recommendations are working for you.)
