Since half or more of reddit is now bots and shills, I don't imagine the training data is going to be great. That's fine, Gemini already sucks, so it'll be hard to make it worse.
The data being generated now sure, but there's still the years of actually useful data there.
Then add on the remaining half of comments that are from sensible users and it's a decent, and still fairly unique, dataset.
There are many, many, many things posted as fact over the years on reddit that are not only untrue, but dangerous or even deadly in the case of some of the most idiotic advice given. I wish good luck telling them all apart to the poor 3rd world contractors the big commercial AI companies
exploituse to "train" their stochastic parrots.That was one of my favorite shitposting formats. I would type a whole paragraph with technical details and real knowledge. Only the people who actually knew what I was talking about would realize its a shitpost.
Yep, and a lot of reddit is thinly veiled shitposts, bots, and uncredited karma whoring reposts of stolen content (the commercial AI companies should feel right at home here). Some of them are to anger the self righteous redditors who come to PC police anyone who dares speak against the far left zeitgeist. But most importantly, so, so many of them are just for the lols.
The scariest part is that those drawn out, apparently accurate but actual nonsense posts/comments, is how many of them end up near the top, with massive numbers of votes from those who think "well that sounds reasonable," but know nothing of the subject itself.
Semi-related: I really loved the shitposts where the guy would tell an elaborate story, and end it with his dad beating the shit out of him with jumper cables. Now that's quality reddit content.
Shoutout to the undertaker threwing mankind off hell in a cell and the lengthy false facts I learned from this user.
