Need an Expert? Try the Crowd

Merging machine and man, I like it.

What do you mean by merging?

Taking away the default judgement of machine like processes and turning it into something more human and less static. Creation can be likened to be machine like right? However it forever moves forward into new possibilities without getting stuck in a straight line so to say.

Care to elaborate? Not sure what you mean by "default judgement"?

My understanding of the research is that they use the intuition of a pool of individuals (the crowd) to provide a pool of questions intended to arrive at the best answer. The question pool is then narrowed (again, by the crowd) to those questions which had the most relevance to arriving at the best answer. One could theoretically use this fool-proof approach for anything, even medical diagnosis.
