RE: Original Works Bot- A bot that doesn't work
Oh man, how I wish that quote from me was still up to date. :)
An up-to-date clarification: the current cost of @cheetah is actually now about $200 per DAY. And the funding has actually moved from @steemcleaners (which I don't take any reward from) and is instead fully funded by the cheetah log and my witness pay.
Otherwise, great post. It's really disappointing to see people put so much trust in that bot when it is far, far worse than cheetah.
@fingolfin - FANTASTIC post. I was already blown away by the original quote. To hear that it's actually $200 a day is crazy. I'd leave the original quote in, since it talks about the process, and then put the update from @anyx in right below it in the content so people know how expensive and time consuming the job currently is. I think it's important to appreciate the unsung heroes. He's been doing this since I started a year and a half ago. Nice job here. You got a vote and a resteem from me.
Well I just went with the information publicly out there :) Yeah, I think even with the comparative accuracy of cheetah it would still be risky to use it to try and certify the originality of a given post. There are just too many variables out there to account for.
Hehe, no problem. I need to make another witness update soon.
Indeed, it's pretty hard to claim something is original. Cheetah might only catch 70% of copy/paste, but has a 99.8% accuracy when she does leave a comment. It's a trade off, I could have programmed her for the reverse (catch 99% of copy paste, but only with 70% accuracy -- thus many false positives) but the design was to have high accuracy rather than high catch rate.
But either way you do it, it's not going to be perfect, so it's wrong to claim so. Hence, cheetah's comment is quite simple and relaxed, to hopefully not leave a bad impression on the 0.2% she makes a mistake on.
I think it's better how you programmed it - to have a lower catch rate with higher accuracy. Gives it more authority.
There is no reason to copy from someone else,
Be original and let us see you in posts
And not to see anyone else, who loves you wants to see you.
Your progress may be slower - but it will be of high quality.
I agree, and I've seen the people who are the false positives have pleasant short responses to cheetah. Hopefully anyone reading the thread will easily see why cheetah marked it as a false positive and know.
May I ask what the costs are? Are we talking electricity costs to run the machine that runs the bot or labor/development costs to constantly update it? Or... something else because I don't know a ton about what makes magic computer things cost money...?
It's pretty much sickening that people can pay others to upvote them.
