This is indeed a great article, and even though it was posted elsewhere by the author (Medium) it was posted at the same time and the author included a link back to Steemit in the post on Medium. This is a great example of what a factual article would need to look like for it to be Curie worthy. The author cites the source for all the facts in the article, and then goes beyond simply summarizing previously published articles/research and relates this back to his own experience with AIWS and gives us examples of what this feels like from his own perspective.
I would have submitted this for Curie if it were not for the fact that the author has two posts with > $25 pending payout already in the past week (a single post with > $25 payout in past week disqualifies from Curie, and just FYI even if no single post is over $25 but the sum total of pending payout is >$25 it is still risky because author might not be considered to be "persistent with little success".
Nice find here.
And it was approved for Curie even THOUGH author had prior posts with high pending payout - sometimes the Curie reviewers will approve a post that doesn't meet all guidelines if it was exceptional. This was still a risky submission on someone's part though, I wouldn't have personally taken this risk - I tend to be cautious, which is why I have been top curator for three weeks running
