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
