Table of Contents Table of Contents What AI can change for Netflix search? Why am I excited about it? There’s a running joke in the streaming world. By the time you decide what to watch, the snacks are over, or the mood is gone. Netflix even launched a tool called “Play Something” to end the meaningless catalog scrolling. But an inherent part of the problem is also the platform’s bad search system.  For years, users have complained about the algorithmic recommendation system’s tendency to repeat listings, while the lack of a proper sort and filter system only worsens the situation.…
