Self-correcting bot/feature #169

Issue:

  • when people go to fix an issue that a bot makes, the bot doesn't improve and sometimes will write over the correction a person makes, because it's not written in the code to improve it.
  • Bots continue to make the same mistakes that have to be manually corrected.

Solution:

  • If there's a bot that goes in and helps other bots improve their sources, then they can be corrected to not cause further mistakes.
  • There can be a bot that patrols the Open Library website to check for bots duplicating other works, making mistakes, etc.
    - how it does this is by double checking with an internet search and a full text search and analysis of which choice is correct among many.
  • have a self improvement feature built into bots

Constraints

  • if someone write something incorrect after what a bot writes, and a self-correcting feature uses the incorrect information to replace its own, then the original information can get lost or be replaced by incorrect info
  • To fix this would require:
    - continuously booting off users that fill in incorrect info
    - keeping a copy of the original information in a database, while the bot works off a corrected one.
