Nice to see some more AI expertise here on steem.
My 2 cents: You don't need an AI that can't identify bot actions. If a bot provides quality content (and they will do at some point), we will appreciate this.
So we would only need to identify bad quality. As you correctly noted this is subjective, so my idea is to integrate into steemit more AI technics that allows a user to find posts that match his understanding of quality.
I did post a week ago about an ML Recommender System that would help users https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@drmake/underrated-yet-another-list-on-steemit to find easier quality content that matches there quality. We have all the data for this on the blockchain. Just use the votes as you personal quality measure. And then with a recommender system find new posts that match your past quality and topic measures.
Who cares about lousy content when the only content you get exposed to you consider as good.
I also agree and have been talking with @eturnerx about repurposing FOSSbot for a task like this. In their own words it's a "coarse parameter search" which could (and perhaps should) then be refined by humanz.
I love your idea of an "Underrated" tab on Steemit. We've been talking about this kind of thing to (and me elsewhere I suggested you should a custom filter tab) and it should be taken off the blockchain and UI middle processing.
In a few weeks I will post some ai notebooks that use Steem Data for such a similarity analysis. Just out on vacation for some time so it has to wait a little
Looking forward to it, followed 😊
Definitely need more people into AI! Although there does seem to be a number of people in the technical fields, the #AI and #artificialintelligence tags are pretty bare. Even the #science tag is kind of lacking.
I agree with you. Except for certain reward pool abuses, not giving visibility to bad quality content is probably sufficient to make the poster/bot stop. I'm sure that some of the status-report type bot posts are very interesting to the bot owners, so meh, let that stay as long as it is out of sight, out of mind.
Thanks for the link: I like your post. You are correct that we already have sufficient information on the blockchain to build a personalisation AI to filter content. Steem, very luckily, is also extensible enough so that we could make a richer set of user feedback tools if we found that useful. It would take building a new UI to make this happen though. A smaller first goal might be to build tools to help curators.
(Mention: @personz you might be interested in this thread)
I thank you for alerting me to the folly of reposting articles, i stopped doing that and thanks for the heads up
Reward pool abuse will be difficult to hide when it gets a large scale. And to work you need a lot of steel power. The accounts doing this will then be flagged quite fast.
Glad to see you're posting regularly too. I've never been in 100% agreement with you, but I think you add an important voice to the conversation.
