News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

"Hey, Reddit AI: When does the Narwhal bacon?"

"The narwhal bacons at 3 in the afternoon."

Fixing the search up would be a better use of their time.

Just burning through compute credits to find the answer to why do my balls smell when I wake up in the morning.

[–] criss_cross 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That doesn't have the works "AI" in it which means stocks don't go up :(

Can't wait to see the recommendations about glue on pizza

More seriously, this might trigger another migration wave to Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

I can’t wait to see all the screenshots of the ai hallucinations.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

No it won't lol.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I’m as pro-Lemmy as the next Lemming, and even I know this isn’t enough to move the needle.

[–] dual_sport_dork 28 points 2 months ago

I cannot wait to see how long it takes for this to backfire in a spectacularly high profile and entirely predictable manner.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

AI is simply not a good way to answer questions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Fr, it makes alot of mistakes

[–] Squorlple 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Following in Quora’s footsteps of enshittification

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

The userbase is exactly like Twitter.

Quora is sooo bad, the sign in or you can’t view the page is on an another level of hell.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Who fucking cares. The real people abandoned that app long ago.

[–] foggy 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"it's like reddit search but AI!"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be fair there's no possible way they could downgrade from the old version.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You'd be surprised. At least it gave you more or less relevant results based on keywords, and it gave you proper comments. Now there's no telling when it will just make shit up or wholly misinterpret the stuff it links to, like those LLMs all end up doing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I never once got a useful result from their search. It was the worst thing I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Eh, maybe, I just ignored the feature for the most part. I'd just rather not find something than being fed bullshit by an AI. Search engines are a thing, too.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As if being bot and astroturf infested wasnt bad enough now "search" is actually going to be Reddit spoonfeeding whatever sanitised corporate sponsored crap it feels like

Lol no thank you

I was try to work out a bug in some software. Searched DDG and found the exact question I had, posted 4 years ago. With 5 replies each saying I have the same problem did you ever fix it, the latest being days ago.

How can I get this to run all queries on my Amazon echos? Whatever I can do to fill my house with the most useless chaos

[–] TexasDrunk 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your house will never be full of useless chaos until I've ridden a horse through it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Name one useless part of that. Joy is not useless

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

“Condescending idiocy is bad enough, but how do we make it even worse? I know - we’ll shoehorn in that newfangled AI that everybody loves so much! I’m a genius!”

[–] zecg 2 points 2 months ago

Soybot, my strength is waning

[–] cabron_offsets -3 points 2 months ago

Suck my dick.
