I just deleted my Reddit account of 6 years. Just found Lemmy today and joined up, this is my first post :)
Its obvious when you watch the way the LLM interacts, its tone exactly encompasses the average Reddit user and post, half-baked karma whoring … You’re absolutely right!
The fact that any AI company thought to train their LLM on the answers of Reddit users speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding of their own product (IMO)
LLMs aren’t programmed to give you the correct answer. They’re programmed to give you the most pervasive/popular answer on the assumption that most of the time that will also happen to be the right one.
So when you’re getting your knowledge base from random jackasses on Reddit, where a good faith question like “What’s the best way to get get gum out of my childs hair” get’s two two good faith answers, and then a few dozen smart-ass answers that gets lots of replies and upvotes because they’re funny. Guess which one your LLM is going to use.
People (and apparently even the creators themselves) think that an LLM is actually cognizent enough to be able to weed this out logically. But it can’t. It’s not an intelligence…it’s a knowlege agreggator. And as with any aggregator, the same rule applies
garbage in, garbage out
“How do I parallel park a car?”
AI Overview: “git gud”
Technically correct
Couldn’t happen to a nicer company
Good. Fuck u/Spez.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
News about short term falls are just click bait. Just look at Tesla
Tesla stock ups and downs seem like someone is literally gaming the system.

That’s what pandering to the bigger techbros spez gets.
Being there stopped being fun ever since the shits started running a massive profile-and-purge program powered by fucking AI, as even casually mentioning violence against right-wingers or POTUS and his merry chucklefucks gets your account flagged for banning. That’s why there’s now a chilling effect.
Yeah, and it aged hard like milk.
All my accounts were banned except one, because I used a different email address for that one. Their “AI” isn’t as advanced as they want you to think. They literally just track you by email and IP.
Their profiling system is based on content in the form of posts and comments, and they used AI to build it up in addition to user-submitted reports determining one’s character – and overall ideological alignment. Mods and admins would then use that information to determine if you are a candidate for banning.
Sounds right, tbh. Source?
Good. Nazi sympathizing shithole deserves nothing but the worst. Fuck spez and every complicit modgoloid and SSAdmin.
This is certainly part of OpenAI’s plan, and a warning shot to other user content-driven sites. An extortion play, if you will, which is business as usual now for fucks sake.
Downvoted because this isn’t news. It’s clickbaity nonsense which has no bearing on anything real.
Fuck reddit.
The entire site is gpt.
Reddit is a parasite that produces nothing of value. The users are the ones keeping the site alive.
