The big idea
Ever notice how Netflix or Disney+ shows you stuff you love? That's AI watching what you watch and guessing what you'll click next. It's not magic — it's pattern spotting.
Some examples
- If you watched 5 superhero movies, AI shows you more.
- Netflix even picks which movie poster YOU see based on your taste.
- If you skip cooking shows, AI stops recommending them.
- Family profiles help AI guess differently for kids vs grown-ups.
Try it!
Look at your 'recommended' list. Why do you think AI picked those? What do they have in common?
