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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    Reddit won’t ban the shitheads but they will summarize their post history so you can better determine who the shitheads are! …thanks?

        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.

      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.
