What is tool / technology has come closest to becoming your "Digital Aristotle" ? (www.youtube.com)

I was going through my old liked videos. There I saw a video by CGP grey talking about how technology could have create a "Digital Aristotle", a tool which will help students to learn on their own pace and at whatever depth they wish to.

According to me, The best tool could be the YouTube algorithm. With the giant stream of videos that flood the platform every second, most of them are slop which doesn't try to challenge the viewer in any way intellectually. But after carefully cultivating a algorithm using indicators such as the Like Button or Subscribe button, I can indicate the algorithm that I want to watch stuff similar to this content. Also using Dislike button or Do not recommend the channel to pushback videos or channels that you don't want to watch.

I wish they could add a profile or a feed system that would allow for different feeds for specialized uses. What are your thought about this or is there any other better alternatives?

YouTube has been great for science content, but the algorithm is mediocre at best for me. It still pushes crap I have never shown an interest in, and keeps popping up the same ones I already marked as "not interested."

LLMs can be good if it is a narrowly-defined subject, but it's hard to tell when it's running off the rails. Perhaps if it were possible to create an authoritative training data set, but that's not on any VC funded company's agenda.
