The ability to predict and recommend content that an individual enjoys is quite impressive. I'm curious to learn more about potential downsides or implications?

I agree, Moyan. We should anticipate challenges related to AI misinformation, bizarre recommendations, and promoting echo chambers.

I'm curious if algorithms can dynamically adjust recommendations based on user feedback instead of being static and only optimizing for engagement?
