    Reddit is going to quickly be replaced by AI, leading to the question: what data will AI train on after that?

      My conspiracy theory is that the recently popular ExplainTheJoke and PeterExplainsTheJoke subreddits are being used to train the AIs to understand the context behind memes.

        My husband still browses Reddit regularly and when I asked him about this he said that the r/tattoos has definitely been taken over by AI training. A lot of the posts there are photos of tattoos with generic questions like “what is this style of tattoo called” or “how long would a tattoo like this last”. The only useful results I’ve found recently are from years ago, and even then a lot of searches lead to discussions with a ton of deleted responses.

          I log in once in a while just to delete more.

          They keep resurrecting them, I keep deleting them.

      If they keep feeding garbage data to ‘train’ AI were going to end up living in a future ruled by an absolutely deranged train wreck of an intellect.

      No changes for the US.
