I think using the word "value" is a bit too strong at this point, but
maybe someday algorithms along these lines (and the ones I mentioned to
you in email, article spinning) will be able to do more good than harm.
The trouble is, at present, they are more harmful than beneficial.
Machine generated, or guided, curation may eventually become a good thing,
but as you know all too well, there are far too many uses of such tech
that are harmful (e.g. poisoning search results, &c).
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI agree with you, clogging up Amazon's stuff with 800,000 titles is a sad effect. It suggests that crooks in the 21st century don't rob banks, rather they rob a million people of 50 cents because none of them feels ripped off enough to prosecute and even if they did they are only out 50 cents.
