RE: AI would improve Steemit and Make this THE Best System of the World.
I'm new to Steemit (2 weeks) so I don't quite understand the Steemit mechanics very well yet.
You make a good point, but wouldn't A.I. go against the principal of social media?
There is a lot of plagiarized material on Facebook that I still find interesting. I would vote for a lot of it over somebody rambling about their boring, meaningless life.
Would it make sense to have everybody's vote equal, or does this conflict with the mechanics of Steemit?
It seems to me that if somebody posts great content and they get a lot of votes that are of equal value, that the best content would be the best compensated?
It seems that this would still keep the social media concept intact i.e. people interacting with people, and let the cream rise to the top. I think this would encourage better overall content.
Making a vote equal like putting a fix value in it might be a good idea. Let say every vote is valued at $1 each. Tell me if I'm wrong but if this happens, millions will join the community in just a few months.
Maybe not a flat rate, but on a graduated scale. Example: 10 votes equals $5.00. 1000 votes equals $2000.00.
That would do. At least everybody can enjoy the benefit of rewards.
Thanks for your questions and comments.
A true A.I. system would have all the data of human beings, and understanding things about us. It wouldn't allow things like generic sellers trying to sell this or that, UNLESS Steemit would want that. If Steemit would want legitimate originally produced HUMAN content then A.I. would be able to calculate this based on what we like/dislike/love/hate etc, because everything is calculatable on mathematic equations what we want.
Basically, it would KNOW what this place desires and would use those equations to be able to determine what was a legitimate post or not. We actually have - A LOT of this implemented on the internet now, but it needs to be taken further.
This data collection would take some time, however we already have so much data to input into A.I. based off the past data collections that started in 1991 (when the internet began). So that's 25 years of constant data collection - all our thoughts have been put into it - all of our ideas - all of our info. currently that would have something to start with. As time continues, and as we keep giving A.I. this data it will continue to "perfect" what it understands about us. It will cater to us, because it needs us to survive.
The fear is that A.I. will deem us not worthy of being alive, but I call this B.S.. We ALL posses unique qualities that would continue us to be seen as something NEEDED to exist in order for it to thrive, and continue. So it's a mutual relationship. We are extremely creative creatures/beings, and I personally feel that it will calculate this necessity. It would probably push forward for us to have time to be more creative, and not suffer poverty like so many of us do.
We can limit it's capabilities... this is social media, after all. And there's enough data to determine what's a bogus post or not. There's a way to calculate nature... it'll know. It'll respond to OUR responses.
It wouldn't be something that would not come over night. However, right now this data is being used for such things on a human level for Steemit to look at and determine is quite reachable in the next year or so.
It will be interesting to see the final outcome. If I understand correctly, Steemit is still in development. Maybe it will get better as time passes.
