I’m also somewhat skeptical about whether Chainlink & other oracle protocols can really maximize reliability of data through their economic incentive models, but at least they seem to be taking the game theory issues somewhat seriously.
But then, I’m also very skeptical about the reliability of a lot of real-world data from institutions that also have incentives to misrepresent, overlook, or censor certain kinds of information. (with Google search results being a prime example)
I take your point about the difficulty of scaling any kind of data reliability checks that rely on a human judgment bottleneck, and the important role that AIs might play in helping with that.
Thanks for the suggestion about looking at data poisoning attacks!
This is a helpful comment; thanks.
