It's pretty interesting that their training set consists of "outbound links from Reddit which received at least 3 karma". There are definitely large subreddits which are flooded by highly voted fake news which you don't want to emulate (unless that's the goal). It also reminds me of a short fictional story which explores what would happen if an AI learn how to maximize reddit's sort by controversial score instead: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/ Maybe that dystopian story is closer to reality than we thought?
