Garbage in garbage out. We are falling back to the Yahoo categories curated view of the internet.
Google was really interesting when using organic link strength to indicate human curation. A web of trust if you will. But it's been gamified to death at this point. LLMs have no capacity to reason, they just generate probable text.
Without a strongly curated training set it's just going to become random noise... As we are seeing now.
This future may not have much going for it, but there is at least the consolation that all the sarcastic bullshit I posted on reddit will be taken too literally by Google's machines and be given as earnest advice to its remaining users.
Thing is, if it's non toxic, then it's possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.
Wonder how long it'll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.
Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let's just hope they didn't use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!
Joke on them, I don’t read ads!
I fucking hate reddit so DAMN much !
