I’m fascinated by what automated posting is going to do to these “communities” based on nothing but a desire to type and be seen typing. Was there ever anything worth anything on a Reddit thread, besides advertising that was supposed to look like Reddit? Knowledge, information, learning, wisdom, comedy, tragedy, humanity? Anything that a mindless chat bot combined with targeted marketing couldn’t have generated?
- brucethemoose2 3y agoReddit used to be good gathering spots for niche topics, where users reveled in each other's enthusiasm for said topic and could generally trust that marketing wasn't the poster's goal. A mindless chatbot: - Isn't actually there to be enthusiastic, hence isn't fun to chat about a topic for long. - Cannot practically keep up with new developments in the topic like regulars do. You arent totally wrong though. A bot isnt that different from a karma farmer, and TBH GPT4's confident nonsense rate is lower than many humans.
