Why is research AI so amazingly advanced but production AI so incredibly primitive?
We have software that generates complete fake scientific papers that fool experts on a first glance, but spam/abuse detection bots get stumped by someone hammering on a keyboard? This makes no sense.
Considering the (academic) state of the art of AI, spam and all other kinds of nuisances should have been a solved problem years ago.
- klodolph 4y agoThis is surely a limitation of the deletion bot designed to work with Twitter API limits. You can only scrape so much before you get put in the naughty box.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI feel this is a problem of misaligned incentives in legacy organizations. If you can accept some degree of spam without completely alienating your users, you get to inflate your usage metrics - crucial if your revenue model depends on showing higher growth/impressions. I've always been surprised by the discrepancy between Google's AI research and the quality of Google's search results. Google search should be so much better given all the incredible AI work Google and other AI researchers have already done. But then I also realize that if Google were to somehow incorporate AI-powered search agents (say, something like Adept.ai), the current ad-driven revenue model would collapse.
