LOL. As a top 10% contributor on Stack Overflow, and on FlashKit before that, I can assure you that any real world value attached to that status was always imaginary, or at least highly overrated.

Mainly, it was good at making you feel useful and at honing your own craft - because providing answers forced you to think about other people's questions and problems as if they were little puzzles you could solve in a few minutes. Kept you sharp. It was like a game to play in your spare time. That was the reason to contribute, not the points.

I had a conversation with a couple accountants / tax-advisor types about them participating in something like this for their specialty. And the response was actually 100% positive because they know that there is a part of their job that the AI can never take 1) filings requires you to have a human with a government approved license 2) There is a hidden information about what tax optimization is higher or lower risk based on their information from their other clients 3) Humans want another human to make them feel good that their tax situation is taken care of well.

But also many said that it would be better if one wraps this in an agency so the leads that are generated from the AI accounting questions only go to a few people instead of making it fully public stackexchange like.

So +1 point -1 point for the idea of a public version.

hehe yea this existing of course. like these guys https://yupp.ai/ they have not announced the tokens but there are points and they got all their VC money from web3 VC. I'm sure there are others trying
