Expanding Networks
In a world that the algorithm controls the content we are able to see in our lives. In a world where AI is generating more and more content that we may actually like to see. In that world, doesn't it make sense that AI could actually connect with us?
The underpinning and glue of the internet are network effects. The internet connects us all. And AI has the ability to boost and connect us further.
I am fully aware that people want to follow other people. But there is a real value that algorithm and AI can provide people. It is proven time and time again. But sometimes to the detriment of the people.
In a world where companies are incentivized to make you buy more and more and more. In a world where companies try to sell you more medicine for the problems they create. Doesn't it make sure that a set of AI/Algorithms try to counteract this? And really build systems for the people?
The small businesses of the world can provide huge value to people. There are passionate people who want to help others. But many times, they are unable to have the network effects to properly sustain their passions.
That is where the internet came in. And now, with bots the network effects can be even more profound.
Imagine if there was an AI which learned that you want to start Drawing. They could become that accountability partner, critiquing your art, providing interesting tutorials, and encouraging you along the way. Maybe they can even connect you with other people.
In a world where Alogrithms for giant corporations can run your life. Maybe it is time for small bots to help push people in the right direction.
