@Treggify I thought about something like this but it was just airing it via a twitch stream and people can put their product up for review or doing real popular sites.

One of the realizations I had earlier this year is that to make a real interface innovation you have to train and teach the model for the interaction patterns you want to see in the end product. A lot of people in product design/HCI worlds are complaining about chat interfaces and focus too much on the surface level tweaks without considering how to fundamentally rethink / retrain the models. You can still hack different ways to make an interface “more transparent” but if the model itself can’t self-correct accurately or faithfully reflect its reasoning I don’t think there can be a real interface innovation nor can you bring really novel affordances. If you don't want a chat interface then invent new interaction paradigms for human/AI feedback systems or so that you can train the models to directly optimize for those goals. I just think product designers and model trainers need to collaborate more with each other.

The media has spent years giving us stories about cancer gofundmes and children raising money to pay off lunch debt and are convinced that we just now hate the rich
