I just looked. I only have one store in case that skews results. A sample:
- cabinet knob with an owl- the first recommended is a turtle cabinet knob by me, the rest are owl knobs by others, so it is staying thematic and prioritizing my turtle over other's owls.
- bath towels with vintage toile pattern- it is showing other's towels also with vintage toile pattern
- women's football jersey with a pineapple- it prioritizes other people's women's football jerseys with fruit but my men's football jersey for Block Island is at the end of the scroll
- serpenski triangle design on a lighter- 5 thematically unrelated lighters I have made followed by 5 thematically unrelated lighters others have made
So sometimes there is strict adherence to theme (as with the cabinet knob). Sometimes there is loose adherence to theme (as with my Block Island jersey added on after other people's fruit jerseys). Sometimes there is no adherence to theme, as with the lighter.
The lighter one confuses me. Or maybe the phrase "serpenski triangle" confused it (it's a type of fractal). If the algorithm was using AI to find similar designs, it would have picked other people's geometric or abstract or fractal designs (of which there are many). If it was using keywords, there are lots of other people's lighters with triangle in the title: to be exact, there are 201, one of which is mine. But it put my other triangle lighter in the middle of the scroll instead of the front. For other people's lighters it chose seemingly at random; a template photo, a template monogram, something masonic.
Yours is a puzzle too. Maybe it isn't showing other people's designs because you have multiple stores so some sort of "must pick from multiple stores" command is satisfied. But it's weird that it isn't staying thematic. Do you not have other products of the same type that stay thematic? If you only have one golf fanny pack then I can see why it threw in other fanny packs of yours that are thematically unrelated. It threw in my Block Island jersey simply because I had no other fruit jerseys. But it first recommended other people's fruit jerseys. It's weird that it isn't throwing in at least a few of other's thematically related products.
I went to the MP to search golf fanny packs. There are many. The first one I picked recommended other golf fanny packs seemingly by other designers (although perhaps same designer with multiple stores). The second and third ones I picked had thematically unrelated fanny packs seemingly by other designers (again, maybe same designer with multiple stores). Interestingly, the algorithm also threw in backpacks (thematically unrelated) so it clearly groups them as "same product" just because they are together on the product page.
