    I mean. What did we expect?

    If it can be manipulated, it will be. To me, this is the price paid for selling out Reddit to the ai glut.

    It’s not like Reddit was ever previously known as a great source for information. It was always full of confidently incorrect comments long before ai came along. Sure, it had good info too, but definitely not all good.

    The AI companies will try to shift the blame for incorrect information anywhere else but where it should be. On them. With mostly stolen info to boot!

    Wholesale processing user generated content online for factual data and expecting it to yield dependable results of any kind should be considered willful insanity.

      Reddit was sold out to the fascists long before the AI fad kicked off.

        True, but recently it really sold out.

        I left back when /u/spez first started getting unpopular for his bonkers antics. Trying to make things ready for the IPO.

        The writing was on the wall for me.
