Scary thing is, if AI can take over Reddit, AI can also take over Lemmy.
I can litterally copy and paste this post, and then you comment, as well as other people's comments and instruct ChatGPT to reply in accordance. Then, if I feel like the comment seems obviously AI written, I can tell it to write it in the style of a redditor with a few spelling mistakes and it I'll do just that.
Now uses some script, and the prompt, and let the algorithm do all the work for you.
I've spent enough time dabbling with AI to conclude that anyone with enough money, can generate enough AI content to drive product forward.
Reddit is now a product, if people are leaving Reddit in droves through the standpoint of a CEO I would think of all kinds of ways to keep the product interesting which means putting on an AI puppet show.
If you go shopping on amazon, often shitty products are reviewed positively by bots to try and drive sales.
Reddit is no different. The money is there, the technology is there, and above it all the greed is there.
I agree with you, I was mainly just making a joke. It's when people point out a spelling mistake, without actually commenting on what's being said as well. But at the same time feedback is feedback, it's great building material.
Yeah pretty sure there's some AI activity going on with that shit, either that or people from the company are making posts and using their powers to add a bunch of upvotes. It's feels like the twilight zone
They can litterally just post a comment or a post and give it a ton of upvotes to give off the illusion that people are upvoting it. Media manipulation at its finest.
I was hoping it was going to be a remaster of the originals.
