The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Why yes, if you assume the worst about a poster and filter all their posts through that perception, you’ll think they’re the worst. Self-filling prophecy much? But whatever keeps you from having to actually read what’s posted and honestly engage with others.

If I were a more ambitious evil bastard, I'd train an AI solely on internet movie reviews, then instruct it to find random internet posts to comment on...

Fortunately, I'm a lazy evil bastard.

well as long as you pay those who made reviews you use to train then you aren't evil

"I don't care that you say 1+1=2. I say 1+1=5! And you can't ever make me admit I'm wrong, so nya!"

Wow. Thanks for wasting all that time.

Google has one-upped you. They recently entered into a content licensing deal with Reddit to train its AI on Reddit posts. No way this can go wrong...

The people getting paid to remove or train out the racism already deserve a raise.

So we're looking at a bold new age of snarky AI?

And fwiw, there it is: The platforms hosting the content get the licensing money, not the creators generating the content.
Not only are modern social media users the product, but they're increasingly the free labor.
