What is it?
When you engage with a personalized website, it responds to your inferred interest by providing similar things. The problem with this approach is that it can quickly lead you into a sinkhole—or radicalize you. (Think YouTube autoplay.)
I feel that this is related to the properties of mistrained self-learning AIs—they can self-validate the wrong results.
