Comment on Ask HN: Is the quality of the Internet rapidly going downhill?

Comments

It's called an opportunity to unseat google.

If humans want High Quality Automated Advice on their context-specific problems, then that's the next search engine.

Solving it - hard. But you can see the outlines of a solution with semantic web, auction sites, that annoying pop up on stack overflow, etc

Can it really unseat Google? From what I can see from the replies of many of these places, a lot of of people are satisfied with the bad advice they find.

+1. But, is automating that a necessity?

I would guess the shape as follows:

- build a Prolog and FSM combo with search engine, DuckDuckGrouse.

- when any one human consults or advisees another, capture the advice as part of the mediated transaction - this would essentially need online start points (I have filled in my tax form so far what do I put in box three) and the logic process behind the endpoint (43,000 - your income for the year)

- rinse repeat and extract.

After a while it will look like AI
