    We’ve had enough of artificial intelligence so they’re switching to artificial stupidity?

    I can’t wait for chatGPT to learn it should answer every disjunctive question with “por que no los dos?”

    Good thing I used a script to edit all my posts and comments into Lemmy promo and info about Reddit paywalling 3rd party apps before I left. I hope ChatGPT uses it in a reply to someone xD.

      Pretty sure that AI can understand a difference between troll and promo with other comments.

      It may fill its imagination of what could go into there if its unknown. Pretty sure they see that its edited and a trend.

      Ai is building worlds in themselves. They are capable of understanding some things by patterns. Generally. Its more of a muscle memory thing. I don’t think it has consciousness… yet…

    “We’re shocked” - nobody.

    But companies are crawling everything like mad - I’ve noticed a 400% upturn this year alone in bot traffic on a low traffic web forum and a few sites I host, so much so that I’m having to do some fairly heavy filtering upstream to keep them out. (They don’t resepect robots.txt, obviously)

    When bot traffic outnumbers legitimate traffic at least 10x, it makes you wonder why you’re paying to host stuff.

      it’s 100% happening, and we probably will never be able to tell due to the tech that powers the fediverse, unfortunately. we just have to accept this as our new reality and be careful whenever we post online from here on out. not a fan

    I’m seeing a lot of negativity here, and I just got to wonder: have you even thought about how the shareholders feel!?

    someone should come up with bots to post blatantly false information all over reddit to mess it all up

      It’s a bellwether for liberal thought in general. Redditors have the opinions that the ruling class want them to have.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    OpenAI has signed a deal for access to real-time content from Reddit’s data API, which means it can surface discussions from the site within ChatGPT and other new products.

    It’s an agreement similar to the one Reddit signed with Google earlier this year that was reportedly worth $60 million.

    The deal will also “enable Reddit to bring new AI-powered features to Redditors and mods” and use OpenAI’s large language models to build applications.

    Recently, following news of a partnership between OpenAI and the programming messaging board Stack Overflow, people were suspended after trying to delete their posts.

    No financial terms were revealed in the blog post announcing the arrangement, and neither company mentioned training data, either.

    That last detail is different from the deal with Google, where Reddit explicitly stated it would give Google “more efficient ways to train models.” There is, however, a disclosure mentioning that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is also a shareholder in Reddit but that “This partnership was led by OpenAI’s COO and approved by its independent Board of Directors.”

    The original article contains 334 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 48%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
