    Garbage in garbage out. We are falling back to the Yahoo categories curated view of the internet.

    Google was really interesting when using organic link strength to indicate human curation. A web of trust if you will. But it’s been gamified to death at this point. LLMs have no capacity to reason, they just generate probable text.

    Without a strongly curated training set it’s just going to become random noise… As we are seeing now.

      I wonder if that’s why Reddit data was chosen. Upvotes could be used as a signal for trust. What they forget is jokes comments often get upvotes.

        Not only that, but trust from a self contained community is not the same as safe for the general public outside of context. Imagine asking for a summary of the Gamestop shortsqueeze and getting an answer from Superstonks.

        They may also have missed the part where unlocking past post for rewrite allowed APIcalipse refugees use shredder bots to destroy a good part of the comments that actually held any value, replace a bunch of others with nonsense, and kicking out invested human curators (mods) in favor of generic button pushers (“power mods”) opened the floodgates to random BS, propaganda, and misinformation.
