I'm befuddled why Amazon, who has been in this game the (second?) longest and has had the most opportunity to take advantage of deep learning can be so bad at delivering relevant advertising. I suspect there's some institutional inertia that prevents them from deploying better technology.
Another example is that Amazon is incapable of recognizing the difference between something bought as a gift versus something for yourself. Thanks to one Christmas present 10 years ago I still get recommended Playstation games.
- fhood 8y agoThat I can almost understand. What I can't understand is why after buying a Dremel, Amazon wastes so much of its resources advertising me another Dremel. This is so clearly a losing game for them. The conversion rate for that type of ad is going to be exactly 0!
