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.

I mean, if Redditors (Reddiots?) are doing it, then it must be "cool", r-r-right?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

Perfection.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 61 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For when you are trying to cut down.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

But it's very moreish.

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.

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'

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Sorry, I was thinking about licit ones as well

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.

Heroin: 7/10 (now I just want more heroin)

9/10 with rice (still want more heroin)

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

You guys doing heroin? Yeah, I'm such a heroin doer! Whaddya say my fellow heroiners?

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well I was on the fence before but if off-brand AI says it might be a good idea then how could it be bad?

I’m off to purchase one heroine to try.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it might hard to purchase historical heroine person.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I hate to be “that guy” but if you want to purchase a person the past is the best place to go. Buying a person these days is mostly illegal.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

Reddit users recommend trying heroin. Why is this news?

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Has it suggested heroin on pizza?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

The forbidden Parmesan…

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should see what 4chan GPT has to say. Yes it is a thing if you haven't been around. Bit torrent only for access as it is banned everywhere. It was the last J6 variant without open AI cross training on the QKV alignment layers, so it is the actual key to understanding alignment thinking by comparisons over time as statistics.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is like the third time I've read about AI telling someone to take heroin.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

There must be something to it, then!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

will it be able to tell the difference between HEROIN AND HEROINE.

A.I.: A long-legged, long-necked, freshwater coastal bird.... And the girl from Harry Potter.
:S

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Supposedly it's linking to advice Redditors already gave, which would probably have already turned up if you were doing a non-AI search.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

what a horrible bot. it's just going to go around suggesting everyone divorce their wives, buy gamestop stock, use heroin, install hyprland, and subscribe to pizzacomics onlyfans.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 2 days ago

Their real capital was their user base. They replaced it with something that regurgitates past posts, whilst putting of the people who made those posts.

So they won't make them anymore and thus there is no new capital being made...

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

That’s what you get when you teach your crappy AI with stuff written by people like SpontaneousH.

[–] Meowie_Gamer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Glad I moved here.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

fuck reddit

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I gave up a few paragraphs in trying to find the part about the heroin (the thing the headline said). So tired of procedurally generated clickbait slop.

Second paragraph after the screenshot.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Okay, reddit AI! 🫡

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just try it, you are not going to get addicted and spiral down for it

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You definitely won't regret trying heroin a second time!

"Heroin: Pretty please don't try it a third time"
