Dr. Drang:

The scouting imagery in Joanna’s pictures tells the viewer that she’s deeply into scouting, but the reason she asked questions is that she’s new to it. If she had asked her questions of any person—a scout leader or even another parent who’s kid had been in Scouts for a while—that person would have immediately known that Joanna was a newcomer, not an aficionado who’d have scouting posters on her walls, merit badges scattered across her desk, and the BSA icon on her Desktop wallpaper.

This reminds me of some annoyances I have with YouTube’s algorithm.

If you watch a handful of videos showing how to troubleshoot a plumbing issue, for example, YouTube will start showing recommendations for other plumbing-related videos.

But you haven’t suddenly become a plumbing enthusiast. You needed to fix a single problem and, once you’re done, that’s it.

YouTube’s algorithm and AI tools aren’t capable of thinking like humans and they often act in unexpected, nonsensical ways as a result of that.
