Personally, I dislike the phrase hand-curated.
- garysieling 10y agoCan you elaborate? I've been describing https://www.findlectures.com https://www.findlectures.com similarly to people, and I've had a lot of positive feedback. There is some frustration from the impersonality of the poorer implemented AI recommenders.
- IceyEC 10y agowhat's added by describing it as hand-curated over curated?
- Nadya 10y agoAlgorithms can "curate" things nowadays, but often do so poorly. "Hand" implies a person is doing the curation and not an algorithm. I could see people preferring a person over an algorithm. A "curated feed" doesn't imply a human is curating the feed anymore.
- intrasight 10y agoAgreed. Curation is done with the mind not the hand. And since there's no other way to do it, you can drop the mind and just say curated.
- tarcyanm 10y agoI am as tired of hearing "curated" as I am of "artisanal". Both are effectively becoming meaningless and set my pretentiousness detector on high alert.
- jerrycruncher 10y agoAgreed. 'Curated' is currently being over-used to the point of parody. Any list of things made by a person is a curation. One could easily describe a grocery list as a 'a thoughtfully curated selection of produce and pantry goods.'
