Eventually humanity will grow obsolete, even if it is hard to believe, for now I think it is a a little of a wasting of our time to make it "harder", a temporarily fix it is just that, it would be admitting you can't beat bots no matter what, if you know the end result then you will be only wasting time in solutions that only create more problems.
But what if we get rid of the problem altogether? What if we make absolutely sure one real person is casting one real vote and he or she is accountable to his own vote? Haha that would be crazy expensive right? But it would get rid of all complains for complete, we know the answer and nevertheless, who would be willing?
I like practical solutions, I made my tesis base on genetics algorithms that give a "good" solutions but not the best, so yeah, I agreed with you, we should make harder for bots to vote and give some breathing room for humans, now I leave you with this question, how we make that happen? I think this post is good start.
"humanity will grow obsolete"
By what metric...? I doubt we'll ever see humanity as obsolete.
This bring out two questions, "what is humanity" and "how can be obsolete", I refer to the "human mind and body" as growing obsolete compare to the "mind" and "body" of a robot in terms of durability and how much accurate information they can hold without forgetting anything at all.
I don't know if you are referring in your life time or into the distant future, but I believe that give it enough time and resources, and you will end with an A.I robot that can fool any human into thinking they are talking to another human.
Btw, if you can have an engaging conversation con with a bot, does it matter if it is a bot and not a human? (This is outside Steemit realm anyway it is just a side question)
Either way, the bots are running wild in Steemit, it would be nice to have a test to check if someone is a bot before commenting, flagging and voting, but I doubt it would put in place though, as "it is a big business".
From the perspective of physical capabilities, our obsolescence may already be at hand, but what becomes the purpose of AI if it has nothing to serve?
"Btw, if you can have an engaging conversation con with a bot, does it matter if it is a bot and not a human?"
Perhaps not to you, but it is relevant for the other party in the conversation, I suppose - if they have no need of human contact, one would expect them not to value the process.
"Either way, the bots are running wild in Steemit, it would be nice to have a test to check if someone is a bot before commenting, flagging and voting,"
Yeah, this would probably take too many resources to be practical, as you suggest.
Reading your comment, clicking on your profile, and seeing "FreeLance", made me think again, that we should make a game about "Free Lancing". Something perhaps like flappy birds/joust. A no cost ["Free"] "Lancing" [jousting] game lol. This is partially because you actually have "Free Lance Gamer" Lol :) Alx
You really took this comment in an unexpected direction.
That is generally what I do sir. Once I had enough real ideas to ensure I could make my fortune, I just let my mind fly wildly, and sat back taking notes. I should be publishing all 420 in 2018, first on Steemit and DLive. When I’ll start using the account @opensourcery. :)
You sound like an awfully interesting fellow!
I'm experimenting with a similar process myself in 2018...
hahaha that's an interesting concept for a game, can we put some strategic layer? Btw the only reason why the gamer tag is there is because i like to play a ton of xcom2.
It sounds like more of a gimmicky name idea than a real innovative mechanic, tbh.
Lol I always or usually start out with gimmicky names and then sometimes an idea forms. The best I have is free for all “free lancing” where everyone is trying to impale everyone else on a lance, maybe pubg style [which is a game I “invented” [part of] years ago, on some level, suggesting that we use the huge screens at football fields to show a group of competitors on the field with an overhead camera, that moved around, eliminating any people who couldn’t stay in “frame”, but this was obviously real people, running and jostling, not Video] the idea for free lance is I guess is like Greek triremes, where everyone is vulnerable from the side, but deadly if they strike anyone with the “tip”. Maybe that’s a better game. Don’t trireme, DOREME. Lol.
We could. But I’m sure we have a great many other things to do. Or not. I’m usually at https://discord.gg/2FwzQu talking about all the ideas.
