Reddit now has to be on the lookout for AI-generated comments and posts infiltrating its site. It’s an important thing for the platform to stay on top of, says Slowe: Reddit’s key benefit is that you can trust that a lot of what’s written on it is written by humans, and AI spam could erode that.

That ship sailed long ago.

“At the end of the day, we aren’t a charity,” Slowe says. Reddit wants to provide a service that people can use for free, “but don’t build your business on our back and expect us not to try and defend ourselves.”

The fucking nerve.

The users aren't a charity either.

ive been on lemmy for 2 years now? time flies!

I look forward to when the jannies are out and it's a horrible AI auto mod instead.

Only 20???? It feels older

I'd honestly say that with what I know about history and technology and the concept of web 1.0 I feel like reddit is at least older than me (I'm 26)

That ai search seems like a good feature - I never could find anything on reddit.

I even have some sympathy for them not wanting our freely given content to be freely given to others … no I don’t, and it’s a shame they couldn’t have handled that differently. Too little too late

Reddit is a sinking ship. But people still won't leave it. I still go there some small niche communities.

Although more recently I've decided to start posting here more rather than lurk.

Gotta be the change you want to see in the world.
