Some users traced the bizarre response to an 11-year-old post on Reddit by a user named “F—ksmith,” who gave a nearly verbatim answer to the same question about cheese sliding off pizza.

It it weird that I find a giant company making money off of strangers words without consent a little rapacious?

I love that "Reddit is selling its data to OpenAI" didn't actually seem to train the algorithm in some meaningful way by a monkey reading a millionty-billion arbitrary words and then writing Shakespeare. It just added generic database responses that are 1:1 as factual as any other. That's such a negative value-add that I bet this will really fuck reddit.

This is exactly what I've been harping on about: all the buzz about AI training "stealing" from rightful property holders has always just meant that the enclosure of the commons with AI will be legitimized and secured with token licensing fees paid out to huge corporations, the content hosts, social media sites, and media companies, without the actual creators of the content seeing a cent or having a say in it. After all, they don't own what they've produced, some huge corporation claims to own it instead.
