Artificial intelligence, low ratings and voting criteria in steemit

in #ia6 years ago (edited)

Much has been written about AI, ethics, the possibility that they can supplant humans in some areas, in fact some experts mention cases where humans have lost jobs and their place is taken by some robotic intelligence mechanism artificial. We talk about the criteria that we humans can handle, the reasoning when making decisions, the feelings and emotions involved in each decision.

So, are the feelings and emotions decisive in the decisions we make? ... I think so! Taking into account the content and motivation of this publication, in my opinion it is something scientifically proven since it has direct impact when commenting and voting on the publications we read on steemit.

I want to draw your attention to this point and I would like you to continue reading this publication that will only take a few minutes. I go into the matter ...

Discovery ...

A few days ago reading this post 6 reasons why you should power up of my good friend @achim03, I found this comment in the image which got my attention a lot, this comment, maybe some of you have seen it many times but I want to discuss with you its implications.

The message clearly expresses, (according to the criteria of a BOT) the positive votes, the reward that the post should receive according to its quality, that is, if this post does not reach the estimate by the BOT, then this publication is Sub valued.

This caught my attention because two months ago one of my publications Steemit Hard Fork in perspective received a similar comment, where the Bot makes an approximate assessment of what should be the result of this publication in terms of rewards and positive feedback, this comment contained the following image information:

I understand that they are approximate ratings, predictions, conjectures maybe or possible results but my point is,what is happening to us? What are our healing criteria? Does artificial intelligence exceed us?

There are many answers we can have to these questions, as well as many reasons to consider that a publication deserves to be voted on by me, but there are things that I still cannot understand in steemit and I need you to help me with this.

I don't understand, as someone who has a voting power that can give you 0.03, decide to vote your post with 15% or 10% of their voting power, what is the point of this?, if you really believe that some publication deserves your vote give it something worthwhile. Although I do not understand the technical implications of this, when I vote for a publication I want to receive some reward according to my voting power.

About the BOT

This is a Bot called @TrufflePig created by the user @smcaterpillar, this bot has a sophisticated system to "measure" the quality of the publications, I want to share with you fragments of this publication: I am a Bot using Artificial Intelligence to help the Steemit Community where you will find more information about its operation, the programming it has for its operation and the criteria established to determine when a publication is undervalued and when it is not.

My basic idea is to use well-paid past publications as examples of training to teach a part of me, an Automatic Learning Regulator (MLR), how high-quality Steemit content looks. In turn, my trained MLR can be used to identify high-quality publications that the curatorial community lost and that they received much less payment than they deserved. I call these publications truffles.

I use some functions that encode the design of publications, such as the number of paragraphs or the number of headings. I also care about spelling errors. Clearly, publications with many spelling errors are generally not high content Quality and, in my opinion, are difficult to read. In addition, I include readability scores such as the Flesch-Kincaid index and syllable distributions to quantify how easy and enjoyable it is to read a publication.

Even so, the question remains, how do I code the content of a publication? How to represent the theme that someone chose and the story that an author told? The simplest coding that is used quite frequently is the so-called "reverse document frequency of term frequency" (tf-idf). This technique basically encodes each document, so in my case Steemit publishes, by the particular words that are present and weighs them by their frequency of occurrence (heuristically) normalized.

For the training, I read all the publications that were sent to the blockchain between 7 and 21 days ago. These publications are first filtered and then coded. Too short, too long, non-English publications, whale war publications, publications marked by @cheetah or publications with too many spelling errors are removed from the training set.

Conclusion

Finally, I think that human beings are more than AI, that our voting criteria, our commitment to our neighbor, for all of us who live in this ecosystem, that we mutually benefit from what we do, empower and support each other. daily should be much higher than those of a BOT.

There are things that artificial intelligence will never overcome and it is that feeling of empathy, having an idea of ​​how the other feels in a certain situation, the satisfaction that we can only feel when we help someone or the feeling of frustration, pain or disappointment when we see that someone falls or is in need, we cannot lose those values ​​that differentiate us from the machines, everything else is statistics and copied behaviors that can be erased from a processor.

First of all, good piece! You asked a question as to why people give partial votes instead of full votes? I am not sure about others so I will explain why I just gave you a mere 30% vote. It is not because I only give you a score of 30/100 for this article, it is really because there are a limited number of votes I can give per day. Every vote I cast consumes my voting power which will only replenish 20% per day. Considering that, I have to "ration" my voting activities because there are many good articles that deserve my vote.

On AI. Artificial intelligence is a really broad term and it has been incorrectly used at times. Over here, what @trufflepig did is called machine learning. Machine learning basically takes past data and establish relationships within the data so that it can predict an outcome when it is fed a new set of data. It is an evolving area, but it has a major flaw of garbage in garbage out. The data model is only as good as the data it is fed.

Apart from machine learning, there are also other fields of AI. Such as natural language processing/generation, speech recognition, robotics and etc. Will AI replace humans one day? It's hard to say without a specific date. I think it probably won't happen in the near future. But who knows what will happen in 50 years or 100 years :)

Hello my dear @culgin, thanks for your kind response, very clear your explanation. Thank you!

I think that most people use that criterion to vote in favor of any publication they consider interesting, now I understand this more clearly, and it is possible that all this is due to the need to ration the votes as you are affirming.

I think the same, in the near future it seems that this will not be possible, I also think about the feeling and everything that explains in the publication that there are things unique to humans that artificial intelligence can hardly overcome. Sure, I can be wrong!

Thanks friend.
@fucho80

I received the support of that bot in my last publication, and it was very interesting. Until now I didn't have enough time to read carefully its explanation, but your post gives me a brief overview of that.

I think it's awesome to live this exact stage of the human history, because we are standing on the line that separates past from future for humanity. We are witnessing the shift that will lead us to a transhuman world.

You wonder about the reach of those bot's abilities. I am sure that they will surprise us every day more, and it's likely to arrive that moment when we couldn't tell if someone speaking with us is human or machine.

We are the first generation in human history facing these issues.

Hi my friend,
Thanks a lot for the mention. I was also suprised to see this bot on my post. It's really interesting to see how AI begins to invade the steem world ;-). However I wouldn't mind if there were more people giving upvotes.

Best regards,
Achim

Dear @fucho80

I absolutely love publications related to AI. Great monday morning read :) Upvote on the way.

what is happening to us? What are our healing criteria? Does artificial intelligence exceed us?

I'm failing to understand connection between those questions and described frufflepig bot ...

I don't understand, as someone who has a voting power that can give you 0.03, decide to vote your post with 15% or 10% of their voting power, what is the point of this?

Ehm. I'm a bit confused. Let's say that you have 100K SP and your upvotes are meaningful. Would you rather upvote 10 publications only and support only 10 people, or would you rather give 10% upvotes and this way you can show your support to 100 of your followers?

Anyway, after HF21 there won't be any reason to do small upvotes any more.

There are things that artificial intelligence will never overcome and it is that feeling of empathy,

I wouldn't be so sure any more ...

Currently AI can efficiently "fake" those emotions. If AI will decide that it's time to show empathy then it will find many excellent ways to do so. I've read already publication created by software, and in this publication author was expressing his frustration with discussed topic. I could not tell that it's advanced AI.

Plus AI will be probably judging other peoples emotions way more accurate than we would. Something to thing about.

ps. did you stop promoting your publications by sending memos ? Just curious

Again, great read buddy. Have a pleasent monday
Yours, Piotr

Dear @crypto.piotr, thanks for your great comment.

Ehm. I'm a bit confused. Let's say that you have 100K SP and your upvotes are meaningful. Would you rather upvote 10 publications only and support only 10 people, or would you rather give 10% upvotes and this way you can show your support to 100 of your followers?

Now I have it clear, I understand the need to ration our vote if we want to vote in different publications and be able to reward the greatest number of valuable publications.

Currently AI can efficiently "fake" those emotions. If AI will decide that it's time to show empathy then it will find many excellent ways to do so. I've read already publication created by software, and in this publication author was expressing his frustration with discussed topic. I could not tell that it's advanced AI.

I fully understand this, but I think that I am not able to explain my point well, it is possible that AI replies, can copy some kind of human behavior, but I am not sure that it feels the same as us in terms of emotions.

ps. did you stop promoting your publications by sending memos? Just curious

Nothing in particular, just stop doing it for a while, I thought that with the Telegram channel it was enough, I even thought we were changing the method. But I'll take it back for my next post.

Thanks friend!

With you on this:

Finally, I think that human beings are more than AI

and, as far as:

Does artificial intelligence exceed us?

There is work being done on AI that can answer questions meaningful enough such that a human user can reprogram an AI to meet their needs and desires. AI is just that artificial. It is not sentient as it has no life. Its intelligence exists as far as its programming. If it protects itself, it is because it was programmed to do so.

Human being survive out of fear and are greedy for pleasure reasons. As a Christian, we seek to overcome this sin nature. Nevertheless, we feel something in overcoming them. That transitory feeling is something AI never can know, by definition of what it is. Humans have faults; AI, programmed incorrectly.

Maybe if we define an existence of true self programming we could extend the conversation, but I believe life comes from God. The best humans can do is an original (brilliant) piece of artwork.
