Just my initial thoughts from the abstract: > [A]ctivity in Reddit communities shows no evidence of decline, suggesting the importance of social fabric as a buffer against the community-degrading effects of LLMs. This seems rather disingenuous? People go to StackOverflow primarily to find answers to technical questions, usually questions where there is 1 or a small number of valid answers. Reddit, on the other hand, is a place where people often go to share their own opinions/posts/etc, or go to browse not looking for anything in particular. The decline in SO viewership makes sense with the rise of ChatGPT, but I wouldn't expect that to cause any equivalent decline from Reddit. If anything, this looks to me like evidence to the contrary: that LLMs don't degrade communities.
