    Reddit feels like walking into a creepy anamatronic exibit alone at night. You keep looking for someone to ask where the exit is, and occasionally you bump into another warm blooded creature that is sometimes human, but you slowly start to realise that most of those shadowy figures aren’t alive. You’re trapped there until you start listening for the real music softly calling below the ambient noise of the exhibit in the distance.

    I have no doubt a way will be found to use this against the companies that deserve it, looking forward to the memes this will produce

    So they’re going to take what was once the best place for honest reviews and make it shittier.

    Glad they don’t have an API or it would make the internet worse.

    I wonder how far you can push this? Like there was a whole subreddit (can’t remember the name) that was dedicated to news that seems positive on the surface but is actually fucked up when you take 2 seconds to think. Could you just get chatgpt to come up with a way to positively frame the worst shit specifically to bait adds next to it?

    Quotes from the original announcement:

    Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.

    Bwahaha, “most human”? Really? Wow.

    A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value

    Barf. Oh boy, “social listening tool” - that’s a new one…

    These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity

    Yup, because nothing says “authenticity” like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow…

      That reads like something out of their totalnotrobots subreddit. I TOO LOVE EXPRESSIVE AND AUTHENTIC HUMAN THOUGHTS.

    If it wasn’t for the AI nonsense, this could’ve actually been a great idea.

    Businesses might want to use Reddit comments as ads.

    Reddit says “Hey, let us find those glowing reviews that we have as Reddit comments, and you can link directly to the original source!”

    Then the original comment writer could edit their comments to call political figures pedos, and businesses learn their lesson that this kind of stuff is not suited for using Reddit as a primary source, lol
