I guess I trust people kinda like how I trust Chat GPT.
Haha, perfect!
I think there is also recency bias in other people’s recommendations. Fresh emotions are stronger in mind. I have seen some good movies recently that I would recommend now, but I am not sure how I will feel about them 1 year later.
A possibly better solution (but lot of paperwork) would be to write down the recommendations, and ask those people how they feel about them 1 year later.

Also, different people like different kind of movies. That makes me think… should we treat differently recommendations that people make within their preferred categories, compared to those they make outside their preferred categories?
As an example, I really liked The Eccentric Family (anime), and Before Sunrise (romantic movie). If I tell you that in general I love anime and hate romantic movies, should you treat these two recommendations differently? How specifically? If I like a movie from a category I generally hate, does it suggest it might be an exceptionally great movie? Or just that it is unusual within its category… in some direction that I like… which may be completely irrelevant for you, unless you have a reason to believe that we have similar preferences.
