    I always thought it would be cool to have an AI that only shows you maximally diverse comments on social media. Like if you have 90% of all people saying the same thing and 10% saying something different, you get 2 comments summarizing each opinion.

    Especially on Reddit everything is buried under the dribble of the hivemind. It would be cool if you could only extract the actually interesting viewpoints.

      I get where your coming from, but this seems like it can elevate fringe opinions too much. It’s like when news stations felt that they needed to air both sides of every issue, so even though 99% of scientists said that humans were contributing to climate change, the stations would have one of the 99% and one of the 1% who disagreed, and the public would get the impression that science was divided on the issue.
