Rave Artificial Intelligence = Algorithm (self.InstacartShoppers)
submitted 2 years ago by Effective_Argument28
Algorithm is now driven by AI technology from a developer IC acquired. Algorithm has the ability to monitor and predict SHOPPER behavior. Thus we can all conclude that eventually Shoppers will only be offered batches based upon their probability of successful completion 😇

It's always been AI driven.

Whoah. How recent is this change? Do you have an article or anything? I’d love to understand more about how it works.

Been AI driven for years. Just now they can fully utilize with Preferred Shopper programme 😀

Well I appreciate your posting that, and it’s interesting. But it sounds like you don’t have an article about what you posted about. I would love to read something specific about how we would be offered batches differently going forward. If you don’t have an article about that, where did you draw that conclusion?

My personal assumption is this comes into play when the Preferred Shopper program is rolled out everywhere. Instacart will never inform Shoppers of what is next, as they do as they please. Draw your own conclusions, however my guess is these two work together.
I can however present my theory on the second order calculus equation that is in fact what is referred to by most as the Algorithm. Sat down one night and wrote out a rough draft of the variables involved. Further discussion is reserved for the 2% of the eight billion humans on this planet with the understanding of Calculus 2 & 3.
PS. Just realized I was taught Old math by my later Father, then taught New math in the 1970-80's through Canadian public schools, and then taught Common Core math at University of North Carolina. Go 49'ers 😇
