Someone needs to say it, but Levi's AI/ML is a total wreck. It's like the worst of process heavy design and development staffed almost entirely by juniors, surprisingly hard to find senior engineers, their model seems to be junior engineers reporting to senior (but non-technical) managers. Does no one stay there?
And let's not get started on their Google chatbot which they spent millions on (outsourced development, despite their alleged internal competency) and completely failed at being able to recommend... denim jackets.
That being the case, this news comes as almost no surprise.

- leviathant 4y agoI appreciate how much they seem to pay out to R&D but I use them as an example of where build vs buy falls down. Been going to the site for a long time. I only buy 501 jeans and the occasional jacket. The default sort on their product detail page is always "recommended", and it never recommends 501s. And that chat bot was an absolute joke. I used screen shots of it to rant about AI years ago. Still get retailers with a fraction of Levi's budget asking about chat bots on RFPs though.
