Wonder how good Google is feeling about that 60 million dollar deal to scrape all of Reddits wisdom
I wonder how Reddit investors are feeling when they find out even Google couldn't pull something valuable out of the Reddit data
Yet I still add "Reddit" to a search query when looking for product reviews or technical/home maintenance support, lol
I can do it really well manually...but Google's AI sucks at it.
They forgot to account for trolls...and how often trolls would get upvoted for the lulz
We need to stop calling it AI. It's LLM and there is no intelligence.
I know it's not "intelligent", but I don't get gatekeeping the phrase "AI".
We were perfectly happy to use "AI" to refer to the logic of computer-controlled enemies in video games for probably decades.
