    I’ve kinda wished services would do something a bit like this for a while:

    One channel for new stuff, based on your recommendations—just gives you a load of random tastes of shows without you actively picking through things

    One for stuff you rewatch. For example, if you’ve watched always sunny or peep show through a couple of times, put random episodes on this channel for when you just want something in the background

      Gonna need some machine learning for this. How much AI in your streaming service are you comfortable with?

        As someone very hesitant about AI I’m comfortable with it. It’s a streaming service, not my email inbox.

          One step further: ai “enhanced” TV shows and movies

          We still good, or you ready to start pitching a fit?

        AI and ML based recommendation engines in streaming services have been a thing for as long as there have been steaming services

            This sounds like a bit of a slippery slope fallacy, if you’re implying that a steaming service using a recommendation algorithm obviously concludes with sinister personalised AI brainwashing injected into my watching, I think you maybe should watch less black mirror.

            If you didn’t mean that, we’ve been using AI in film and TV for ages now, the latest batch of Star wars films made extensive use of it. Hell, the huge battles in lord of the rings used a rudimentary AI system for governing all the entities in it.

              I’m just working my way to asking if you’d watch personalized AI TV bruh, not purposely attempting a fallacy. I’d give it a look, maybe once or twice. Just to see 😂

      For the rewatch, on Plex you can build playlists and shuffle them. I do this for my kids, one wants Bluey and the other wants Peppa pig. I let the random gods decide what comes on next.

      There was a chrome extension a few years ago called ottoplay that did something like this, would take your Netflix Hulu and YouTube accounts and set up channels like comedy movies and shit like that, would play random episode non stop.
