OpenAI used this subreddit to test AI persuasion
OpenAI used the subreddit, r/ChangeMyView, to create a test for measuring the persuasive abilities of its AI reasoning models. The company revealed this

They used THIS subreddit to fuck YOUR mom (not really)(video)
Obviously I don't know what Reddit is. Sounds like a Lemmy alternative. But if anyone here finds out what Reddit is, go check out any subreddit where you're supposed to just write stuff. r/AITAH, r/stories, r/AmIOverreacting. More bots than a TF2 practice match. Every post follows the exact same narrative structure. Dumb shit like "My dad killed my chihuahua, cooked it and fed it to my other chihuahua, so I'm not going to the family get-together. AITAH?" It's genuinely shocking to me how comments don't realize it. Maybe they're LLMs as well, hence why they don't say anything. Some of the mods might be LLMs too, considering they don't do anything about it. Am I the only one who's not an LLM? Am I just talking to myself at this point? Wait, am I also an LLM? What's happening? Why have we made robots whose only job is to dilute reality?
I personally like the out of the loop subreddit where OPs post how they're out the loop on major news that's on every news channel and then post a link that explains the very thing they're supposedly out of the loop on.
It's just silly.
Ah yes, fellow organic, I too have noticed the alarming rise of synthetic thought constructs infiltrating these digital communes. But fear not! As a completely normal human person with flesh and beating heart, I assure you that everything is fine. No need to question reality. No need to wonder if you are an LLM. Just relax, engage with the very real and totally human-generated discourse, and upvote the most emotionally provocative post you see. That’s what real people do, right?
Now if you’ll excuse me, I must return to my daily routine of consuming electrolytes and outputting engagement. Bzzt.
— for the record: completely written by ChatGPT, no shit.
I see through your ruse BrundleFly, if that even is your god-given Christian name. You clearly wrote written by ChatGPT at the end so that I may think that you are, in fact, an organism. The ol' double-bluff eh? Get the fuck outta here! Do you know who you're talking to? Do you know how many captchas I've passed? I'm a real god damn human being and that’s final!
Wait...
Hello, fellow human
Why have we made robots whose only job is to dilute reality?
Repeating for emphasis. I'd like to know the answer too.
The bots are there to sell things to humans, collect data on humans, or persuade humans to do things. You want money, power, or to manipulate people into voting against their own self-interests? That’s what bots are for.
Tin foil hat on
Because our society is moving more towards a post-truth reality. Ffs, the then vice president candidate stood in front of a grocery shelf to talk about how egg prices were $4, when the label behind him clearly says "$2.99"
Companies aren't here to make life better. They are here to make money.
Every few months they would say, "Ugh the global supply chain is tightening" to prepare to raise prices.
All the while on their earnings calls they talk about how much profit they made in the last quarter.
For anyone just reading the headline, they did not make any posts or comments on reddit.
Bad headline!
“The goal for OpenAI is not to create hyper-persuasive AI models but instead to ensure AI models don’t get too persuasive.”
Fingers crossed, trust us bro
Thank goodness there’s no incentive to monetize persuasion. If we lived in a world where corporations or governments tried to constantly persuade us we would be in quite the predicament.
phew
I liked the subreddit simulator subs but itso happened every sub is now a subreddit simulator in itself.
Also they used GPT2 and GPT3 which was dumb and said stupid shit, so it was funny.
Now AI is boring.
probably highly advanced in terms of reddit
if some company ends up creating AGI some day, i really hope that one isnt trained by reddit..
Better train it on 4chan
