Marketers and their bots have been using reddit to hype up brands. No wonder Reddit feels like shit these days.

    For it to happen in the Fediverse AI would have to be training on the Fediverse.

    That’s what this post is about. Using reddit to plant comments that AI trains on, and subsequently getting AI to spit out your answer to questions it’s asked.

    As such this can happen anywhere where AI is being trained. The issue is with how AI is training, not with how websites it trains on are being operated.

      There isn’t really any reason to think the Fediverse won’t be used for AI training, if it isn’t already. Everything is in the open here, it’s easy enough to scrape all the data.
