A note on Amazon categories

Published by

If you’d like a chuckle at Amazon’s inefficiencies in AI, I learned earlier that M.Christian’s and Ralph Greco Jr.’s new book, Sex: Everything You Didn’t Know You Needed to Know hit #17 in the Amazon parenting reference category.

When I entered the metadata for this title, I focused on relationships, dating and intimacy— there is no mention of parenting in this book of sex advice essays. How Amazon made that connection I do not know, but I do know when I checked on the title’s performance it sat beside a book the diaper-free baby, another on the art of seduction, and one on addiction.

Just another reminder that Amazon has many flaws. (And Jeff Bezos recently acquired the rights to James Bond. This may have significant ramifications for the integrity of the franchise.)
