As mentioned by
Guillaume Chaslotfounder of AlgoTransparency and a former developer that helped YouTube with the recommendation algorithm, the particular feature is designed to make us addicted and not show us what we really want.“It isn’t inherently awful that YouTube uses AI to recommend video for you, because if the AI is well tuned it can help you get what you want. This would be amazing,” Chaslot told The Next Web website. “But the problem is that the AI isn’t built to help you get what you want — it’s built to get you addicted to YouTube. Recommendations were designed to waste your time.”
