I have no idea why this is downvoted, I think this is pretty profound.
AI, or even sentiment analysis, could easily filter non-factual posturing from statements of objective fact. Of course, people can filter it too, you never see this type of crap slip in to an academic journal.
I think if an AI auto-highlighted social-judgements it could revolutionize how a lot of things are read (a news article, HN, etc)
- mindfulhack 8y agoI will say (and this is meta), I'm more than happy to take a hit every now and then for the sake of how comments work here because after my experience on other tech news sites' comment sections (e.g. Ars Technica, sorry to name names) which are full of emotional hysteria, mob mentality, and upvote whoring, I've come to see that HN has by far the most quality Internet comment culture anywhere - I've never seen it on the Internet before in my 20 years. So I don't mind, let's keep commenting when and where we think we have something useful to say, and thinking freely and openly in a way that's pretty strongly protected by the excellent guidelines established here at HN.
