Hot take: I paid $35 for a food delivery app's "smart" meal picks and got the same burrito 4 nights in a row
Last week I got curious about those meal recommendation features inside the delivery app, so I dropped $35 on the premium tier to see if it could actually guess what I want. Night one it sent a chicken burrito from a spot two miles away, night two the same burrito, and by night four I had eaten the exact same order every time. I finally pulled up the app and the "personalized" feed was just showing me whatever had the best promo deal that day, not anything I ever ordered. That is $35 I will never get back, and now I just want to know if anyone else has caught a food app faking the smarts.
