Reddit in AI Content Licensing Deal With Google

• ›

  AI generated text content is often identified today the long form formal content form scraping new articles and books. To an advertising company, AI social media responses driving engagement trained on informal comments that have a lot of metadata seems like it'd be pretty valuable. Just like any other free site, if you aren't paying you're the product. Either for your ad watching eyeballs or to sell your data.

  Slashdot content is straight out because Gemini would need to be renamed Hot Grits.

    And an AI to detect when we need another AI story. This one was posted 40 minutes after the previous AI story.

    40 minutes seems like a really long time. If we go straight to AI generated content we can have a flood of AI stories. Very efficient.

• Another bigoted AI in a sea of bigoted AIs. Nothing of value will be created.

    Gemini is profoundly awful both in what it has delivered in my experience, and virtually every example I see online. It already reads like a Reddit troll and this will only be a continuation of that pattern. It might as well train on Quora and YouTube comments. Google is failing faster at AI than Kodak did to see the value in digital photography.

  • Actually they're not automatically bigotted

    Musk tried to make a right wing chat bot trained on twitter and a bunch of right wingers were made it was "woke".
    
    That was because it was trained on all of Twitter, and Twitter as a whole is left wing, it just promotes right wing content because that gets more engagement (probably from troll farms and Russian bots, but engagement is engagement).

      Or 80% of the content is centric because that is the definition of centric in political thought. Republicans and Democrats, 80% of them hold centric political opions for their party. IF you do not like being told Joe Biden has no business near the white house, perhaps it is time to understand Joe Biden mental state 2024 as viewed by you and not who is posting that his mental state is in the twilight.
      
      Just because you don't like it, the statement "Microsoft Windows is a centric OS in the marketpla

• Really looking forward to ai-generated circle jerks, 1000-post chain of in-jokes, and angrily shitting over everything because the AI's mom asked it to stop day drinking in the basement.

• Quite a large amount of Reddit content is automated or astroturfing accounts, so they're basically using bot-generated content to train their bot. Unless of course they use the naughty right wing subreddits, but they won't do that since they don't want their bot regurgitating viewpoints and perspectives that don't align with their particular worldview. I guess in that sense Reddit is a perfect training tool, although they could just ask the DNC nonprofits for their scripts instead since they run a huge am

• If the social media conglomerates can get AIs posting to social media, and eventually have AIs responding to those posts, they can set up their own profit centers, without need of those pesky, complaining, idiotic users that cause all the problems for them! Then we can use massive amounts of energy to create and consume and create and consume and create and consume massive amounts of bullshit, even more than we create today, without any need for humans! FANTASTIC!
