not really hard, because people will post anything on the internet. including me.
It sounds like the reason they used reddit was so they could easily find users who had expressly revealed the information in question, and use it to verify that the AI was accurately deducing the same info from style alone.
They used reddit because it has corraled dumb users. Users a no longer around anywhere else in the Internet, just here on social media. And yes, what better place to find dumb users than on reddit!
