Reddit is furious, understandably.
I wonder if other groups are using AI to post on Reddit too?
- feraloink 2y agoI wonder if other groups are using AI to post on HN too? (Seems less likely than on reddit... TBQH)
- krapp 2y agoSeems more likely to me. Reddit has a far broader userbase, whereas HN is primarily made up of the sort of people who would post with AI. And HN has a non rate-limited API (even though most people here probably use Algolia.) And people already do paste comments from AI, it's becoming more and more common. At least they have the courtesy of pointing it out but I expect that will stop before the AI comments do.
- morkalork 2y agoWhile I do love seeing the comments starting with "I asked ChatGPT..." get absolutely eviscerated in the replies and negatively voted, it is probably sending the wrong signal.
- bigbadfeline 2y agoBot farms rule the web. Bot-authored comments are everywhere, no less than 50%, regardless of site. Keep in mind, human-assisted bots have been used for the past 20 years but now the bots are a lot more productive thus the human part is largely quality control. Fretting at the rare researchers who admit to their bot activity is like fretting at the criminals who admit guilt and praising those who don't.
- feraloink 2y agoMore seriously now, the Zurich researchers were very creepy. I'm reading the article further and saw that they stalked some of the past history of redditors first before trying to influence them in r/change my views or whatever it is called. I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig for that purpose.
