Reddit to combat AI with more AI - Engadget

Actual footage taken from Reddit's internal testing:

I hope reddit destroys itself. Fuck their stupid Ai data collection website. Fuck Israel, fuck Sam Altmann, fuck google.

it's bots all the way down

I'll believe it when I see it. Everything they have done up until this point shows me that they like bots and dislike human users.

Pretty sure lots of people are getting hit with the false positive rate on this shit

Reddit is a vast network of communities...

You're banned

I found a subreddit to submit phony facts, bad grammar, original anything else people want AI to scrape

It's called random acts of knowkedge (typo is apparently the correct name)

I won’t lie. I had to lookup the meaning of the Latin “Similia similibus curentur”. I’m not sure it applies completely to this situation, but I get the reference now.

Obviously I’m not privy to the specifics of exactly how Reddit plans to enact their defences, but to me it seems more like fighting fire with gasoline, then fighting fire with fire.

If that makes any sense…

Fun fact, if you get banned from Reddit you can go back into your past posts or comments and change them.

It would be a shame if past comments turned into AI meaningless slop and poisoned the well…

Pretty sure lots of people are getting hit with the false positive rate on this shit

Reddit: We have eliminated the users but preserved the arguments!
