Will reddit still be able to sell ads, if it just becomes a bigger version of r/subredditsimulator.... redditsimulator.com?

I honestly wouldn’t be worried about it’s application for simulating human generated comments. This stuff is only going to start sounding notably less human as it begins to train itself using ever increasing amounts of AI generated content. AI is only as “intelligent” as the input it gets for training, and it’s getting stupider shit fed into it by bot created content every second.

This is actually my first comment on lemmy. I’ve been shut out from the influx of new users, I finally just got it worked out this evening.

Deleted all of my Reddit content over the past few days, which was actually harder than I expected. I liked reading back through my comment history, I can always remember where I was when I read stuff I’ve written. So it was like deleting a lot of memories, but it’s worth it to screw up Reddit experiences and taking back my own data (barely…not really).

I was happy to use Apollo, happy to pay for it. But Reddit really fucked themselves, and I hope they feel it. I’m glad to see such an exodus and influx here. I’m loving it so far.
