Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.

Wtf, we have laws against advertising drugs or not showing their use on tv. But these AI shits can recommend illegal drugs and their use? You only need to be 13 for a reddit account, so this equates to advertising illegal drugs to a child.

Huh? There are constant ads for drugs on US TV.

Illicit drugs.

Sorry, I was thinking about licit ones as well

I mean i think the AI sucks and shouldnt be a thing, but its just summarizing information thats already on reddit and fully readable even without a reddit account. Based on the article it also didnt come out and say 'you should try heroin', the person searched for 'heroin for pain management' and it came back with 'some users report using heroin for pain successfully'

Ah yes but you see that laws don't apply if rich idiots build plagiarism synthesis software with inherently unpredictable outcomes, thats uh... everyone else's fault, or something, because we're trying really hard, guys!

In other news did you know that when the AI bubble collapses in the US stock market, it'll wipe out 20 trillion dollars of asset valuation?

So thats your 401k going bye bye.

Like I said, everyone else's problem.
