    Shower thought: what if a large number of people made lots of posts and comments on reddit using only AI generated content?

      Considering the spam problem, in a way, it sort of is already happening.

      It’s possible that par tof the API changes might have been to curb off that kind of behaviour before people decided to go and do just that too, or stop them using bots to wipe their profiles out.

        Honestly, you just need to convince people to go through their comments and break any chains with nonsense. I bet that they are training conversational abilities (I mean what other good is the data set, it’s not like redditors are experts, or when there is that the experts get upvoted at all.)
