It does work because the truth is popular. Look at prediction markets. Look
at Wikipedia. It is well known that groups make better decisions as a whole
than the individuals in those groups (e.g. democracies vs. dictatorships).
Combining knowledge from independent sources and testing their reliability is
a well known machine learning technique which I use in the PAQ data
compression series. I understand the majority can sometimes be wrong, but the
truth eventually comes out in a marketplace that rewards truth.
Perhaps you have not read my proposal at http://www.mattmahoney.net/agi.html
or don't understand it.
Some of us have read it, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with
Artificial Intelligence. It is a labor-intensive search engine, nothing
more.
I have no idea why you would call it an AI or an AGI. It is not
autonomous, contains no thinking mechanisms, nothing. Even as a "alabor
intensive search engine" there is no guarantee it would work, because
the conflict resolution issues are all complexity-governed.
I am astonished that you would so blatantly call it something that it is
not.
