Yeah, I'm not surprised paying people wasn't a real option, at least not right now. > > - add a personality to the AI - name, sex, etc. I think HAL is > > perfect, but whatever. > > HAL sounds excellent to me.

So, instead of ... The justification isn't necessary at all - we could skip it for simple cases that are hard-coded. Example page: --------------------------- You said HAL was right to say "The Danube is a river." 4 out of 5 humans agreed with your answer so HAL is now 80% confident of that statement. HAL also thinks Paris is in France. [] Definitely true [] somewhat true [] neutral [] .... ---------------- > ...Also, note that many (half?) of the items they will be > rating will be reversed. I don't imagine that will be a problem for the user.
