Heuristic Algorithm

A learning or discovering technique based on experience. Or, a way to try something new (like a new position), based on what you already know. If you know what I mean...
-"Sheila and I are going to go work out some serious Heuristic Algorithms tonight."

-"I find this solution to your Heuristic Algorithm really painful."

-"You should try Dave's Heuristic Algorithm! It's got some really intense solutions!"

algorithm anxiety

For algorithms that aim to give or tell you something you want based on a person's input data, such as likes, shares, interactions. Examples include, social media ads, feed algorithms, song recommendation algorithms.

Algorithm anxiety is when a person gets anxious about their inputs to the algorithm as it might give the algorithm the wrong idea.
and/or
When a person is anxious about what the output of the algorithm is, as they may feel it's 'not them' or how they might be manipulated by it.
"Shit, I accidentally liked that song, that's just ruined my algorithm. I'm so anxious now to like songs I don't actually like, I have algorithm anxiety."

"I keep getting ads for these boots, should I buy them? do I like them? or are they just being drilled into me from the algorithm? what if these clothes s I bough were a product of the algorithm and not actually my decisions?! OK I have algorithm anxiety now. "
