Post Body

Some of the submissions on this forum are so bad and sometimes so completely nonsensical, I am starting to wonder if this isn't a fruitful training ground for AI/bots?

I know this sounds like a premise for a joke but I'm actually being serious. One of the key factors in creating bots is the feedback loop and there are probably only a few communities like ours that fit the bill for a good test environment:

  • small and under the radar
  • upvotes/downvotes to reflect quality
  • written feedback to improve natural language selection
  • direct and specific corrections on natural language errors

We satisfy all those requirements. If nothing else, AI researchers and spam bot creators SHOULD be using our community for testing.

As it is, some of ya'll's shit is so bad, I'm convinced you're not human.
