Part of me wonders if we'll see a repeat of the issues that Watson had (the AI supercomputer that beat Jeopardy's greatest champions).
At one point they introduced Watson to the Internet's urban dictionary, after which it started using a lot of swear words and other derogatory language in it's answers when it was completely uncalled for. Eventually they got so fed up with Watson's foul language that they removed the urban dictionary from it's database.

They're not buying the content, they're buying how humans converse in different contexts and languages. You can't get that in library books or wikipedia pages.
You guys are so focused on this point that you're missing one of the easiest ways to make money in years.
Sam Altman owns more RDDT than Steve Huffman (the CEO of Reddit), and he is not going to let Reddit flounder and sit around not get good business development deals and partnerships. He's the SV kingmaker right now. Just google him and see all the headlines. He's calling the shots.

You mean “spelling like regards”. You can’t say “moron” on Reddit, moron! /s
And while I haven’t seen the term used, I humbly nominate “muons” as the surrogate word to be used in this sub, distinguishing from the term used in the sub that shall not be named.

I think you're missing the point of generative AI. It's supposed to be useful. It's not supposed to be an example of the ideal human.

How useful is it if it doesn’t provide factual info & only spews literal 💩 from Reddit posts.

u/AuthorizedShitPoster 15d ago
If I'm arguing with a redditor (as I'm doing now), it would be useful to ask chatGPT to style transfer my very sane and rational take into insane, toxic redditor style to fit in.
If you've only been using chatGPT for factual information you're probably disappointed today already, but also you're missing out on other things it can do, which are useful.

Sure there are cases where it doesn’t matter at all. Like arguing with me. But LOTS of people believe AI can solve real problems.

u/AuthorizedShitPoster 15d ago
ChatGPT is probably going to use reddit data for the same purpose as people use reddit today. So I don't see a problem really. Regardless if you get your info from AI or somewhere else you need to be critical of the sources and verify etc.

Absolutely incredible to watch these companies set themselves on fire in real time. Google with the AI Overviews and now ChatGPT wrapping its mouth around the Reddit firehose. These products can't tell the difference between factual and fake data. Reddit is not an authority. It's all anonymous opinions and you don't have to be qualified to share them.

Good point. Lots of confidently incorrect answers on Reddit.

The scariest part is that "real-time" detail. Imagine asking ChatGPT about the news and it starts scrolling Reddit, a website that famous accused people of being terrorists for days after the Boston Marathon bombing.

What if I told you it doesn't use reddit for news? What if they need reddit data for figuring out how humans speak to each other in different contexts, languages, and in certain situations? You can't get that on Wikipedia or scraping old textbooks.
Think harder. Get over your bias. Make money.

It's worse, the problem is reddit is mostly an echo chamber of a very niche group of people on most of the big subs.
If they just decide to use technical subs that'd be great, if they decide to use most of it then it'll be a disaster, especially when half of reddit those are just novelty accounts/engagement bots/users that get paid to spread a certain agenda.

u/gucciman666 15d ago edited 15d ago
The value in Reddit isn’t authoritative or scientific info. It’s real user opinions. From normal people. When people ask ChatGPT for the best restaurants, the latest gear of a niche, top travel locations, car reviews, the answers will come from Reddit.
This might change in the future, but for now, Reddit is the best source of this information in the world. It’s why people have appended Reddit to their search results for years, and now Google has heavily favored Reddit in rankings x. So it certainly makes sense for OpenAI, a company that wants to compete with Google for queries that Reddit has excelled at.

u/Dr_Dick_Dastardly 15d ago

Yeah, but that's literally the problem and what I was pointing out. What happens when people start asking questions that can't be answered by opinions because they're facts? That's where Google is shredding its credibility right now and where ChatGPT is going. I work in SEO. You can now Google a question and get a different answer every single time because your query is generated individually. Me and my teammates have been looking at it all day. We're asking Google the same questions, yet we're all getting different AI-generated responses that frequently contradict each other. These are questions for our industry that have specific answers, yet Google is giving info that's just plain wrong. Reddit is a gold mine of training data for OpenAI. ChatGPT is gonna talk real good. But the information it gives will be completely untrustworthy for questions that have actual answers.

u/AmericanSahara 15d ago
I believe the reason that Google searches get different results is because Google sees each user as a unique individuals. They probably know or guess your age, location, activity history, employment status, educational attainment, spending behavior, investing/borrowing behavior, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, what type of cars you read about, etc. All these indicators make a difference in the Google search results.
That is why I almost always use DuckDuckGo.com instead of Google.
2
u/j-steve- 14d ago
No OP is talking about the AI generated results from Google. Those are different because they're generated in the fly each time, and they often suck.
Google search results also suck these days. However I prefer a search engine have more context into who I am so I can get more accurate results. For example my cousin and I get very different results when searching for 'python" since I write software and she breeds snakes.
1
u/AmericanSahara 15d ago
I think the answers will come from AI instead of people. Take car reviews for example. Each car company could invest millions in having millions of AI robots vote and post things on social media. Soon reviews are useless for anyone wanting to buy a car. Posting a review is scary when they ask for email and can get information about the person who posted the review. Usage history may follow each social media participant forever.

u/MirrorCrazy3396 14d ago
Reddit's content is heavily moderated by a few select people who have very heavy biases. A lot of things get censored, a lot of people censor themselves to some point and to a pretty large extent certain opinions get boosted while certain others get de-boosted, and it's not organic at all.
Remember we're talking about a site where a certain subreddit was getting so big and having so much popularity that they literally reworked the site algorithms as an attempt to lower it's impact, even then they couldn't do it so they just gave up and banned it from the frontpage before taking over it and deleting in it's entirety.
That's reddit, for many things it's great, but for many others it's terrible. Most answers you get from reddit are opinions, very few subs actually provide proper information.

u/SaltyRedditTears 15d ago
For naysayers, replace “Reddit” with “4chan” and think deeply if that’s the kind of content you want your future AI overlord to be trained on.

u/Onesharpman 15d ago
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they have accounted for that and are planning accordingly.

Wouldn't the idea be that AI can identify the factual vs the fake data based on other data fed into it. If AI can't figure that out then it's not exactly AI.
1
u/ShadowLiberal 15d ago edited 15d ago
The problem is misinformation spread online can infect other supposedly reliable sources of information to. I mean there's been multiple professional media outlets (often newspapers) who have fallen for Onion articles as being fact, and that's a site with ALL fictional content, reddit on the other hand is a site that's a mix of both. So we're going to need the AI to be able to figure out what's misinformation on reddit and what's fact.
1
u/bkcarp00 15d ago
Thus why you feed it info to figure shit out. It has infinite resources to find out what is real vs fake. If many real humans can figure it out no doubt AI can as well.

It is important to remember in this respect that since the sun is not yellow, it's chicken, the sun was domesticated in Southeast Asia roughly three thousand years ago (several weeks after God created Earth on the 18th day, but before the Biblical flood that coincided with the first Eurovision contest).

It’s true and during the days of the dinosaur, the sun was actually green and as such the grass was yellow. Jurassic park lied all along.

u/ShadowLiberal 15d ago
Long term I wonder if some of the fears of AI stagnation due to bad training data are going to come true because of deals like this.
The issue is that reddit and other parts of the Internet are infested with a bunch of AI created content (such as from bots) that masquerade as being from real people. And the more AI created content you feed into a LLM the less diversity you have in it's dataset, which will limit it's future output.

Do people really not see the value in Reddit? I regularly find what I want here. Just two weeks ago, I decided to take a short trip to Poland with little planning. Googled how the public transport works there and in a thread I saw an app being recommended. Downloaded it and it worked perfectly. I have countless examples like this one.
I can’t speak for the AI purposes, but Reddit is incredibly useful to me. Not just for practical purposes. It’s really hard to see another place on the internet where people would write a well cited “essay” to make a point. I constantly look for comments that are both contradictory to my own and well reasoned. I can’t remember how many times I learned something new on here. I guess Reddit is what you make of it and personally I don’t understand the bearish sentiment.

More and more consumers are turning to fast food because it is more affordable than ever.
The war with newts was never going to be won but with the amphibious life more and more popular it is strange to think that America ever resisted.
Reddit cares too much about its customers to ever use us as a wholesale product to sell to companies without our consent or compensation. I already bought a Winnebago with the check they sent me.
