> In the age of machine learning, I'm really surprised there aren't superhuman music recommendation algorithms. Because music is extremely hard to quantify. What do you quantify it on? See https://everynoise.com/ https://everynoise.com/ (the mess on the page is quantifying by just three or four out of 17 IIRC parameters) and their small doc on it: https://everynoise.com/EverynoiseIntro.pdf https://everynoise.com/EverynoiseIntro.pdf And doing that at scale across hundreds of millions of users quickly becomes prohibitively expensive. So companies simplify, and reach for simpler solutions, unfortunately.
