@cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev I guess that's the nice thing about them using (what I assume are) black box models for the targeted demographic. Like, it's certainly possible to infer more general categories such as "you bought a hot water heater, so you are building or renovating a house" and then suggest other things (these are all hypotheticals to me as a lifelong renter, for the record). But you know, extra computation is expensive, takes more work, etc etc etc, and does Lowe's even know or care they're getting stiffed on this deal? If it's marginally better than what they had before, then they're probably fine with it.
