>> Algorithmic search has it's limitations
Search engines were never just about algorithmic search. They were search+recommend (what you'd call "AI" these days), but the most successfull ones always turned recommend into advertising.
- benj111 8y agoAgreed, its still algorithmic though. To return to the Hacker News example, if I read whatever is at number 1 on the front page of HN via a search engine, I don't think it would give 'you may also like' recommendations to anything approximating the HN front page. They would be things relevant to the article.
