Reddit sucks, but it’s also one of the biggest goldmines of human-curated information out there. Alternatives include blogspam, which is worse than useless these days, and forums with limited scope. Figuring out how to sift through dirt to find the nuggets of gold is important for any AI, whether they train on Reddit or not.
- Telaneo 1y agoIt's always funny to me how Reddit is one of the less garbage sources on random unexpected shit you one day want to find out. If you're really lucky, someone will have written a really good article on some niche topic on their personal website or similar, but that's annoyingly rare. You've also got review sites and such for common consumer products which are usually a decent bet after some filtering and cross checking. But the step down from that in terms of quality really is reddit of all places. You sill need to double check be sane about what you read, but the alternatives, like the ones you've listed, are actually worse than reddit's random internet strangers.
- necovek 1y agoI don't think really good blog posts/articles on a personal site are rare. But they are increasingly harder to find, searches only returning SEO spam sites instead.
