What's merit in this context? What NLP/ML algorithms would you use? I can't think of any that are suited to or good enough for any definition of merit.
I do not understand what is meant by "proposes content to share." My best guess is that I would visit <a href="http://proposer.ai" rel="nofollow">http://proposer.ai</a> and I would be presented with a list of things that I should tweet/like/submit-to-hn? Why would I vouch for / share something that I had not read myself? Accumulate magic internet points? I hope my interpretation is wrong because it sounds like a product that supports and tacitly condones shallow, insincere, attention seeking behavior on the internet. I realize that sounds harsh but I am really perplexed by the use of "recommend content to share" versus "recommend content to personally consume." It seems that in order to make good decisions about what to share the site would not only need information about me but also information about my social graph.<p>More than anything it sounds like a wonderful tool for astroturfing campaigns. Corporate PR departments would love to re-brand advertising as "AI based merit recommendations."
