Social credit isn’t inherently flawed, everyone naturally develops a working model in their brain where we judge other people based off of a variety of factors. It’s just hugely scary when a government is the one operating a social credit system. If there were some theoretical framework that would assist users in judging strangers on the internet, according to their own personal settings, that could be effective. For example, one thing you see on Reddit is when somebody starts posting disagreeable comments in a community, a concerned member might look at the offending user’s entire post history and discover“oh, the only thing this guy does is make pro-[topic] statements”. The member then shares this information with the rest of the community, hoping to discredit all statements by the offender. I almost think there could be a personal LLM that does this for you, and preemptively“tags” trolls and spreaders of misinformation in a way that allows you to automatically filter or dismiss their comments.
