reddit has its own AI feature now
(sh.itjust.works)
Every day I'm happier and happier that I left Reddit.
I wonder what’s different on lemmy though. At the end of the day, this platform is just another platform on the internet which almost anybody have access to. Sure AI use is not on the ToS. But anything open access is assumed to be privacy unfriendly anyway. If it’s the dm feature, it’s a different story.
DMs on Lemmy are not secure FYI
Like “not E2E”, or someone can guess the URL to your DM type of insedure?
Not sure, but the message that it is not secure is displayed on the website when you message anyone. I would presume that anyone who knew what they were doing and wanted to target you would be able to figure it out one way or another if they were determined enough.
Yeah. My point being in terms of AI use, there aren’t really differences between lemmy and Reddit since the data is public. I don’t even see the point why this topic is relevant to privacy.
My understanding is that admins would be able to access it. I'm not sure if this means any admin, or just the ones of the sender and recipient.
The difference is I (the contributor of content) have the same access as anyone else to the data, and could use it for my own purposes if I wanted to.
On a platform like reddit, access to the raw data is controlled and cannot be format shifted / used in any way I wanted to.
Do you have a link or something to further dig into this?
I think we all knew this was coming though, considering Reddit is still popular to find specific answers that SEO riddled adware websites won't be able to give.
I hope all of my comments that were highly upvoted, edited to nonsense before leaving, yet still to this day get occasional replies, got sucked into the dataset.
That’s great 😅
Leveraging the tendancy for everyone frustated with shit search results due to SEO to slap site:reddit.com on the end, and enshittifying it (coz any AI they can train (also any AI, but moreso) will mangle the shit out of it, seriously reddit is not enough data). Way to dilute your brand for a headline. Morons.
Had it for quite a while, in case you didn't notice
Yep, and it sucks. Just like most of reddit.
Unfortunately, ye
Time to crank up their openAI bill 😎😎
Facebook has started using AI bots to boost engagement (and revenue). Is Reddit trying to do the same thing?
I see a ton of fake comments on polarized topics. They start off as a somewhat normal back-and-forth but if you follow it down the funnel thread eventually one commenter will stop making sense. I thought it was a propaganda/pr thing but I guess it could be bots. I’ve seen it on the privacy sub too.
Maybe it’s automated propaganda and opinion steering.
