Wonder if it would be possible to use AI to automatically characterize a comment's position in the pyramid, and assign it a color or other visual cue to indicate that it's pointless for good faith humans to engage

Great idea!

Perhaps in lieu of A.I., have a better updoot system like my MetaVote™ idea indicate the flavour of comments and posts.

I was initially annoyed that this was needlessly re-visualized, but there's a key verbiage clarification that makes it worth it.

Refutation - finding a mistake and supporting it by quoting the author

So many people I've shown the previous visualization to get hung up on "by using quotes", thinking they were supposed to quote other arguments.

Using quotes is "proper punctuation".

Or just quit being an idiot like Carswell who loves to use the pyramid while being a honeypot shildiot.

Ehhhhhh, I'm not sure what you mean.

Ehhhhhh, how am I a honeypot? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Ehhhhhh, sit on it, like Fonzie.

Ehhhhhh, you sound like a socks alt.
