Stumbled across this screenshot. Now, instead of judging people for yourself, the computer can do it for you!!! This will in no way be used negatively by Reddit nor people who are arguing with each other. Original post is here, if anyone still has Reddit maybe go spread the good word of Lemmy and Piefed to these users :P
Sounds an awful lot like the social credit score China was working on a few years back. Wouldn’t be surprised if mods start preemptively banning users based on their AI summaries.
Mods already use bots to preemptively ban you based on what subreddits you have left comments on regardless of context.
And Black Mirror was before that with the idea.
And Corey Doctorow did it before that in Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom.
This clearly shows that such implementation of AI is a solution that still seeks for the problem. Such summary doesn’t add anything helpful. On top of this, since AI is known to hallucinate, one has to check the comments for themselves, making a summary obsolete.
If I was still posting on Reddit, shit like this would immediately prompt me to delete all my stuff
Just deleted my account. This was the final straw.
It’s helpful in the nominal sense of allowing mods to dismiss people without having to do any work themselves. Which is precisely the problem AI is designed to solve… human beings have to do work and make judgemental calls. People generally do not like doing work if it can be avoided.
Outside of medicine or other data analysis, AI doesn’t have much of a use.
Generating bland corporate copy/logos?
i’ll tip $5 to the first person who makes the ai say a slur
If I get it to call itself a clanker does that count?
it would need to get censored on network tv
That means that even the N word wouldn’t count… 🤔
Get it to draw an ascii art nipple?
The way we’ll know of its a male or female nipple is if it is censored.
“The user is a frequent poster to ‘ebony’ porn subreddits…”
I am thankful for the fediverse and hope this never finds its way over here.
Unfortunately, you know it will. If it can be done, someone will do it.
It would be literally about 3 hours of coding for someone to make one of those, and another few days to feed the fediverse into it.
Jokes on you I vibe coded this and it took me 5m /s
Honestly the fediverse is already a bit of a privacy nightmare, and people refuse to take it seriously. Our version of this horror will include your comments and voting activity and likely a bunch of other telemetry which isn’t public on reddit. Oh and it won’t just be a single “official” AI agent, it will be dozens of them from every corporate or government which wants to build a user database and keep it around forever.
We could bake real privacy protection into our fediverse apps, but the admins and devs seem to have completely punted on this.
it’s not a “privacy nightmare” as much as just entirely public and transparent. As long as you’re aware of this when posting, then I don’t really have a problem with it.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
What they’re talking about here is a blueprint for stamping out individuality.
Omg, you are such a Monica.
Human personalities can be clustered into which member of the cast of Friends they most resemble.
Fortunately, Friends is so brilliantly written that they managed to capture the entire spectrum of human diversity.
(this is snark. I am totally a Chandler.)
Could you be any more Chandler?

it will be nothing more than grok and FB combined soon enough. the only reason reddit has completely astroturfed left leaning content, is because it allows right wingers to drive up engagement in those subs.
Can we get some more titties on Lemmy so I have zero reasons to go to that crappy site?
https://lemmynsfw.com/ exists, so…
jinx, 4 seconds apart in our reply LOL
you win though, i was too lazy to look for the boobs category :D

I noticed that there’s virtually zero women asking for naked men. I kind of hope this means they are done with men, and will finally allow the population to collapse.
Holy fuck!
did you guys not use reddit detective back in the day?
also…
you get what you get in that shit show anyway.
I did, but the key difference is that it didn’t make an evaluation for you. It just gave you a collection of facts with some hard-coded things to look out for.
The new thing is way worse. It’s just skipping the facts part entirely.
It’s just skipping the facts part entirely.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Vibe facts are just as valid as normal facts. ChatGPT told me so. /s
I felt gross typing that.
Alternative facts.
No no no, we keep that name, vibe fact, it sounds more accurate.
Alternative Intelligence facts.
Fuck reddit. Corporations ruined it.
I was away from Reddit for over two years, and then one of my old accounts was compromised by some pornographer.
I didn’t like that, so I got the account back. Poked around for a little bit after that.
I got banned from /r/worldnews on my first comment there for celebrating the beating of that douche-nozzle known as “Big Balls.”
Fuck em. Didn’t dispute anything, just immediately done posting there again. Reddit is unrecognizable vs where it was in June 2023. I’m pretty sure half the participants are AI; and they’re using AI based personas to drive up their metrics and subsequently their stock price.
it generally only rewards group think and rage bait. like every other algorithmically driven social media platform.
and trolls will report/ban anything that deviates from that as controversial or harmful.
Hahaha holy shit, Reddit’s become worse than I thought. AI being added to something is how you know it’s truly turned to shite.
its called crossbanning, it been in the works for many years already. most of them would ban you if you were very controversial political subs, like joe roegan, or another.
This really makes me think the Amish were right after all with regards to modern tech.
Reddit won’t ban the shitheads but they will summarize their post history so you can better determine who the shitheads are! …thanks?
Narrator : “they were all shit heads”
my fav is people who harass you via messaging about some random comment you left months/years ago about how deeply hurt and offended they are.
I’m fascinated by the level of egotistical delusion it takes to be offended by random internet comments, let alone ones from old threads.
nothing shows up for profiles viewed on old.reddit.com.
huzzah!
Old Reddit is the only reason why I visit it sporadically. Combined with RES, I still have the same basic keybindings to browse I had multiple years ago. The new UI of Reddit is a waste of space.
Lol that is some dystopian shit right there.
