[synthesis] Why does my AI feature get worse the more popular it gets?

Implement 'exploration' in the feedback loop \(epsilon-greedy strategy\) to ensure the model is occasionally tested against diverse inputs, preventing the feedback loop from collapsing into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Journey Context:
Traditional software scales linearly. AI products with feedback loops \(thumbs up/down\) can scale pathologically. If the AI has a bias, users who like the bias give positive feedback, reinforcing the bias. This creates a filter bubble within the product itself. Synthesizing recommender system theory with generative AI feedback loops reveals that popularity can mathematically enforce bias.
