Thank you for your reply @cmplxty

In the medical field, they are trying to assist radiologists in their diagnosing of cancers.

That would be really awesome if they succeeded.

There are too many junk posts that make it to the trending page sadly. It would be hard to tell it what kind of content to emulate as well because all our opinions of what constitutes a quality post vary.

I agree with that, but I think there are already solutions to these problems. There is already a platform that learns about your content preferences (basing on content that you read most often) and displays only posts that may interest you. There also algorithms that detect which posts were upvoted by bidbots, so they are able to detect posts that are rewarded with highest rewards from the community.

Those things are certainly easy for the software but humans excel at other things that the software does not and vice versa.

That's the point :)
