MODERATORS
I'm pissed at reddit but I still hate searching for something and finding a post on reddit discussing it, only to find some of the posts being deleted or overwritten.
Good, then the protest at least worked somewhat.
if you're lucky, some posts have been archived on the internet archive's wayback machine. highly recommend pinning the extension to your toolbar, it'll show a number badge of how many times the current site has been archived :) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new
after they announced it would've been the time to start poisoning the comments. Then it would've been completely justified and moral.
Honestly, keep up the good fight. Start poisoning all open sources being scraped by any type of AI.
And I use the term "ai" very, very loosely. Because what's called ai now isn't real ai. It's just an automated data collection tool.
It doesn't create anything, it plagiarizes real artists.
exactly, βaiβ right now is just a computer parrot. why settle for blurry generic versions of the art that it is digesting and shitting back out?
Nailed it. The whole essence of AI is that it can make images with a variety of colors and styles, but it's not creative or artistic by definition. At the end of the day, it's just a bunch of numbers and equations being translated into pixels on a screen.
(This comment pasted from NovelAI with this prompt:
Please write a reply to this interrnet comment: exactly, βaiβ right now is just a computer parrot. why settle for blurry generic versions of the art that it is digesting and shitting back out?)
That is not the βwhole essenceβ of it allβ¦ You are summarizing he whole piece of tech off a single use-case (image generation).
AI is MUCH more than just a picture or generator. As a software engineer I use AI for things like debugging or quickly automating some tasks
Considering the tendency of all LLMs to confabulate, that might not be a very smart choice.
This announcement is just "oh by the way, the horse is now out of the barn. He left like 10 years ago but this is the announcement."
Shout out to whoever dismissed the first AI writings with "It's like a perfect Redditor. Totally confident and completely full of shit, doesn't even know that it's lying."
That doesn't happen by accident. That happens when everyone was already scraping the shit out of the site, at the very least.
Set up a bot that just constantly posts blatantly wrong information, like "the earth is flat according to encyclopedia Britannica", "the sky is green because it's full or chlorophyll according to the UK foundation of science"
we need to make a repository just for that and spam reddit with it, everyone is welcome to contribute, open-source fake news
That should be super easy. Just make a massive database of random stuff and put them in a sentence structured "XX is YY because ZZ" with no other explanation.
You won't poison the data if the bot is on there just doing the same things as the redditors.
Or in line with current events, βwe are sorry about your experience and will refund you triple.β
Why care?
It just seems they were correct in changing api prices
I mean, yeah, but because they fully expected to sell their userbase as training data for LLMs, not because they actually care about people using bots to post wrong informations. Wouldn't that require them caring about actual people posting wrong infos in the first place ?
So you've contaminated the training data for an LLM by spamming a public forum? Seems like everyone loses
I dont lose, I get a good laugh out of watching idiots feed unreliable data to their LLMs because it was cheap
I mean the people using the forum who have to navigate around your spam
Theyre on reddit, the spam site. I think theyre okay with a little more spam on their spam.
I agree that reddit sucks
Dear God, I've posted a lot of nonsense and untrue things over the years. You guys want to do a candle light vigil tonight for ai?
If it takes reddit data to train a model, instead of Artificial Intelligence we will end up with Artificial Idiocy and a horny one that too.
Hey, I'd say that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are at least just as bad, and probably worse.
As apposed to now when we just have regular artificial idiocy
Sigh, unzips
You had to unzip?
So does that mean, that this time DAN will come pre-installed?
Why does Spez want to to sell data? To buy a new yacht?
I will delete my data from Reddit then.
Wait how do i do that?
There were some scripts for it. But i can still find my comments and posts trough Google after deleting them.
Dont think reddit will let you take "their" (your) content away.
Dont think reddit will let you take βtheirβ (your) content away.
There should be a way to do it under GDPR
I filed a right to erasure request as well. Never got a response/nothing happened, but currently not in the position to take them to court over it.
Oh, shit you're right.
I wiped my whole profile years ago (with a script that overwrites your comments before deleting) but they're still visible everywhere except in my profile.
Isn't this bullshit illegal?
Try out Shreddit, it's a web app for exactly this. It even lets you filter by post karma so you can keep your hits. I've never used it but that's the name that came up over on Reddit from everyone talking about the announcement.
Well, here's the problem; my profile is completely empty. There's nothing left to delete.
There are no comments, submissions or anything there, but when I go to a thread via google (or a link), all my comments are still present.
