    Long-awaited, said no one. Is AI going to fabricate even more of the bullshit on reddit then?

      Problem is Reddit content and votes aren’t all human so unless they kept a record of which parts are just chatbots and which votes were faked its not exactly useful to train on in a pure sense.

      Considering the disinformation wars and botnets between the big countries its hard to even get a idea of what people really think and what is bullshit and what isn’t.

      In any case I’m glad reddit has fucked themselves. This small corner of sanity is a bastion in a shit blizzard.
