This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Reddit, where the sources are made up and the points only matter as a hit of dopamine for the person making shit up.
One point for ChatGPT it is then… it might be a bit on the posh / haughty side but that’s better than the reddit cesspool in my book.
Wikipedia content is usually copyleft isn't it? BigAI doing the BigEvil, redistribution without attribution or reaffirming the rights given back from Copyright by copyleft.
I used ChatGPT on something and got a response sourced from Reddit. I told it I'd be more likely to believe the answer if it told me it had simply made up the answer. It then provided better references.
I don't remember what it was but it was definitely something that would be answered by an expert on Reddit, but would also be answered by idiots on Reddit and I didn't want to take chances.
There was a recent paper claiming that LLMs were better at avoiding toxic speech if it was actually included in their training data, since models that hadn’t been trained on it had no way of recognizing it for what it was. With that in mind, maybe using reddit for training isn’t as bad an idea as it seems.
Anyone who has any domain knowledge and experience knows how much of reddit is just repeated debunked falsehoods and armchair takes. Please continue to poison your LLMs with it.
