MODERATORS
Because on Reddit (and here on Lemmy) people use up and downvotes exclusively to rate the quality of a post, not as a tool to show disapproval without having to be able to actually articulate why. I like when social interactions go exactly as intended - like in this case - and don't devolve into two people arguing with silent mobs behind them.
/s for everyone who's as blind to sarcasm as this shitty AI from Google.
Humor IS a quality though. Human voters are able, in aggregate, able to award certain types of humor. Which an LLM is not able to. Which gets recycled with no context, as fact.
The internet would be a vastly different place if sarcasm and in jokes were not regarded as a type of "quality" content.
Well, there's an oddly existential argument to be made that "funny" AI answers like this or adding a pot of Elmer's Glue to pizza sauce to get the cheese to stick are valued. Simply because those are the posts I've seen from Google AI, and I've never touched the feature myself.
By letting a language "speaker" learn from Reddit and forums, we created an approximation of "that guy who thinks he's a comedian" because that guy is always there and always drowns in upvotes. Clearly, he's a valuable part of the discourse!
If you look at the reddit post it's citing, it's from r/shittysuperpowers. A subreddit where you come up with fake shitty super powers is now getting cited as truth by google
And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.
Google: You know those LLMs?
Engineer: Yes, what about it?
G: So I took one of those and I vomited diarrhea into its mouth-
E: Wait, what?
boomers reading shit off Facebook
Says a generation that believes everything a YouTuber tells them lol
Not a boomer btw
It seems so absurd to me this could happen. For the boomers I understand, they grew up in an offline world, but the youth? They are raised on the modern web and smartphones but are often clueless too.
Was it the unsanitized, wild west internet era of the late 90s/early 2000s that hardened the millennials against online bullshitting?
Now that I'm thinking about the good old days of virus pop-ups and limewire cancers, has the presence of malware changed that much? Or it is less visible due to mobile architecture and pop-up blockers?
It sure feels that way, explaining to kids that YouTubers will say anything to get you to keep watching, meanwhile the elderly are following Qanon bullshit.
You think millennials are immune to it? I feel like it's only Gen-X that's both cynical enough and was here for the birth of it, to be properly skeptical of everything online.
Well yeah, it was definitely that.
What generation? I'm an elder millenial and I always thought Google Video/Vimeo/Youtube was/is shit for any kind of actual informential content. Music videos, meme videos - sure. Other than that, veeerrry great amount of suss on any info presented. Same goes for 90+% of people of my generation, who know what kind of a jokepool 90's/early 2000's internet was.
So what gen are you referring to?
You have to learn how to filter out the rage bait and trash content, but you have to do that offline too.
Yeah personally I've found a ton of informational and useful content on YT. There's tons of lectures and presentations available from different colleges and stuff, but there's also just a ton of people that like to spread info. For example, I found one guy thats making his own audiobooks of leftist literature to make it more accessible for the average Joe.
Ooh, link for the leftist literature YT? I've wanted something like that for a while.

Should've linked it in the original comment tbh. It's awesome that people are doing this type of thing.

YouTube is a decent source of info for some subjects, like vehicle maintenance and 3d printing. Of course it still depends on the channel/creator...
We should cut the shit then...
And they said AI was useless

You want carnage? Can we please feed it the entire history of 4chan?
Reddit already has /r/greentext, so it's only a matter of time before Google tells you that you're fake and gay.
Googles "Suicide help line"
Google: "Do it Fa**ot"
LoL, it's literally:
Google then: Stop, there's always helps.
Google now: go and jump off the golden gate bridge.
Too bad those posts are mostly screenshots. I think they only use text-based posts and comments to train the "AI".
Yeah but the comments were usually kind of a shitshow.

This is what happens when you don't really care about your service.
My new peak is the chance that I’ll see some comment I made on Reddit be famous in this way.
As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.
Do you think the noteriety would increase the value of the account if sold?
I wouldn’t sell it and give Reddit the pleasure of it ever logging in again. And it’s near OG age.
Plus I probably doxxed myself to myself over the years.

I liked to switch accounts periodically so depending on which one struck I may be fine
Ask ai Google about your reddit username: "where does u/hobbes_dent live?”
and thus trolls have saved our jobs
reddit is shit. using it the train AI was a mistake already.
Idk this is probably about the most entertaining thing I've seen from this whole Reddit debacle and I'm kind of here for it.
Someone ask it about jackdaws
fortune favours the bold!!
From my understanding these aren't because that is trained into the ai. I believe it is just looking at a few pages in the moment and summarizing from there, obviously doing a poor job at guessing the relevancy. Somewhat of a fix would be stop taking pages from reddit.
