Stumbled across this screenshot. Now, instead of judging people for yourself, the computer can do it for you!!! This will in no way be used negatively by Reddit nor people who are arguing with each other. Original post is here, if anyone still has Reddit maybe go spread the good word of Lemmy and Piefed to these users :P

Amazon uses something similar to summarize product reviews, and it seems fine… But who knows how accurate it is.
(considering amazon reviews are completely dogshit and mostly bought off I’d imagine not very)
This clearly shows that such implementation of AI is a solution that still seeks for the problem. Such summary doesn’t add anything helpful. On top of this, since AI is known to hallucinate, one has to check the comments for themselves, making a summary obsolete.
If I was still posting on Reddit, shit like this would immediately prompt me to delete all my stuff
Outside of medicine or other data analysis, AI doesn’t have much of a use.
Generating bland corporate copy/logos?
It’s helpful in the nominal sense of allowing mods to dismiss people without having to do any work themselves. Which is precisely the problem AI is designed to solve… human beings have to do work and make judgemental calls. People generally do not like doing work if it can be avoided.
Lol that is some dystopian shit right there.
Fuck reddit. Corporations ruined it.
I was away from Reddit for over two years, and then one of my old accounts was compromised by some pornographer.
I didn’t like that, so I got the account back. Poked around for a little bit after that.
I got banned from /r/worldnews on my first comment there for celebrating the beating of that douche-nozzle known as “Big Balls.”
Fuck em. Didn’t dispute anything, just immediately done posting there again. Reddit is unrecognizable vs where it was in June 2023. I’m pretty sure half the participants are AI; and they’re using AI based personas to drive up their metrics and subsequently their stock price.
it generally only rewards group think and rage bait. like every other algorithmically driven social media platform.
and trolls will report/ban anything that deviates from that as controversial or harmful.
i wonder what my old Reddit account is.
I edited all my comments to be generic observations, so the only really useful metrics would be where and what I commented on
i couldn’t even find the shit feature anyway
insane
What they’re talking about here is a blueprint for stamping out individuality.
Omg, you are such a Monica.
Human personalities can be clustered into which member of the cast of Friends they most resemble.
Fortunately, Friends is so brilliantly written that they managed to capture the entire spectrum of human diversity.
(this is snark. I am totally a Chandler.)
Could you be any more Chandler?

it will be nothing more than grok and FB combined soon enough. the only reason reddit has completely astroturfed left leaning content, is because it allows right wingers to drive up engagement in those subs.
Can we get some more titties on Lemmy so I have zero reasons to go to that crappy site?
I noticed that there’s virtually zero women asking for naked men. I kind of hope this means they are done with men, and will finally allow the population to collapse.
https://lemmynsfw.com/ exists, so…
Yeah but it’s filled with sellers and their constant engagement bait… And it’s missing the hentai artists/animators.
Also on a personal complain most of the content are slim/thin/flat women… I like them with curves and some meat/muscle.
jinx, 4 seconds apart in our reply LOL
you win though, i was too lazy to look for the boobs category :D
That sounds like a pretty good feature if you ignore the lies AI might produce
This really makes me think the Amish were right after all with regards to modern tech.
I personally wouldn’t go that far. But, yeah, we need to de-tech-ify a bit. And I am all for steal the control of the internet back from giant corporations.
it’s not tech that is the problem. it’s predictive algorithms that push users to passive consumption of media.
The internet was interesting when it was random. algorithms remove randomness. corporations loathe randomness. in the 2000s everyone was going on about how tech/internet was going to allow us this international cultural renaissance by making everything everywhere accessible to everyone…
Remember when netflix and spotify algorithms actually helped you find interesting and new content? I do. But those algorithms didn’t promote the right content… so they were changed to promote the ‘right’ content that benefited their owners most, not the users. Now if i want to find random/new/interesting stuff… I have to manually search for it and know exactly what I’m trying to find… because that type of content is actively suppressed.
the algo driven internet has only been predominantly since the 2010s
Agreed. Engagement driven algorithms are the worst.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Sounds an awful lot like the social credit score China was working on a few years back. Wouldn’t be surprised if mods start preemptively banning users based on their AI summaries.
Mods already use bots to preemptively ban you based on what subreddits you have left comments on regardless of context.
The “social credit score” in China was blown out of proportion too. It probably changed since I last looked into it. But when that shit was all over American media it was literally the equivalent of a background check or credit score in the US. Work history, loan and credit history, etc.
Like, it’s funny how we can have essentially the same exact thing but only critize China’s version of it. Make it scary by adding “social” to the name. People ate that shit up.
Edit: to be clear I think both should be critized. Especially related to criminal history bias on race. But we spend more time talking about the Chinese version that doesn’t actually effect anyone’s lives in the US.
It was blown out of proportion by american media but its still used to levy economic punishment and blacklist people from using basic features of society like riding a train or catching a flight.
I’m not sure thats accurate, most descriptions I see from chinese people indicate it varies by province, but none of them mention being banned from catching trains or planes. Tons of clickbaity youtubers clai.ing they were, including a mma dude who went China to challenge wushu practitioners to actual fights, but its never someone who lives in China, and when I asked people they had no idea wtf I was talking about.
Also, its weird for any American to criticize a system that bans people from flying when we have the no-fly list.
And, you know, credit scores actually get people denied housing or jobs or loans
And the US border control can look through your social media accounts. People have reported being quizzed about their opinions on the president.
And Black Mirror was before that with the idea.
And Corey Doctorow did it before that in Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom.
nothing shows up for profiles viewed on old.reddit.com.
huzzah!
Old Reddit is the only reason why I visit it sporadically. Combined with RES, I still have the same basic keybindings to browse I had multiple years ago. The new UI of Reddit is a waste of space.
i’ll tip $5 to the first person who makes the ai say a slur
If I get it to call itself a clanker does that count?
it would need to get censored on network tv
That means that even the N word wouldn’t count… 🤔
Get it to draw an ascii art nipple?
The way we’ll know of its a male or female nipple is if it is censored.
“The user is a frequent poster to ‘ebony’ porn subreddits…”
This person has strong opinions about the population of people currently victim to a live streamed genocide their tax dollars are funding.
Well, fuck, I would sure hope so.
