Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. (i.redd.it)

Good thing we're not on reddit

How exactly is it a good thing in this particular case? All this information is only more accessible on Lemmy.

It’s easier to use a pseudonym on Lemmy.

Lemmy instances aren't summarizing their users. You can do it on ChatGPT, but Lemmy isn't doing it.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what's the good thing? Yeah Lemmy might not be doing it but I can do it, and Elon can, and Zuck, and Putin and your grandmom. Whatever you post on Lemmy is as public as it can get.

The good thing is that we aren't sucking reddit's teat. If you are so worried, then why are you here? Why do you keep posting comments?

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m just trying to pick your brain and figure out what exactly is good about Lemmy in this case, but you seem reluctant to give me a cohesive answer.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lemmy doesn't use AI to track their user base's opinions and summarize it to mods. Is that clear enough? I'm not sure what you don't understand.

I think their point is there's nothing stopping Lemmy mods from using the exact same type of AI summarization tools. It may not be built-in, but many instances have their own addons for improving moderation
