Greedy little pigboy Steve couldn't resist. Every day they seem to do something that reaffirms leaving was the best plan.

So I need to run any comments I make to reddit by chatgpt before posting, it seems. I heard ai training ai leads to a poisoned data set.

The next move is to use AI to generate posts and comments

spez says that's how he got reddit off the ground in the first place: faking content/engagement (well, genuinely engaging with his account(s?), but essentially shouting into the void and hoping enough people heard and wanted to stick around.

with a RedditUserBot trained on reddit users, you might be able to fake another decade of growth.

I honestly think that has been happening with all these publications websites.

I am willing to bet the most active subreddits that are not too bot infested are the NSFW ones. Reddit AI is going to be creepy and horny.

We should have been posting factually incorrect information instead of deleting posts this whole time.

Although I think Reddit does a good job paying factually incorrect information on its own.

If you aren't the customer, you are the product. Congrats on being monetized and kinda sorta immortalized as a series of weights.

If user content belongs to the service provider, one would think that they are responsible for it.

Our collective toilet thoughts are going to fuel the future of robot rhetoric guys
