Open AI and Reddit Partnership

Open Ai is incorporating 's content into their products and services so users can engage with reddit's communities. Reddit's data API will provide real time, structure content to Open AI under the terms of this partnership.
Open AI printed and I quote, "being open means Reddit content needs to be accessible to those fostering human learning and researching ways to build community, belonging, and empowerment online"
This partnership will also benefit Reddit as its users will gain access to many AI-powered features made on Open AI's platform. And wait for it, Open AI will become 's advertising partner.
If you don't live in a cave, you'd know that Reddit has transformed into one of internet's biggest archives. The implications of this can be far reaching for those who invest in and . This bombshell comes right after Open AI dissolved one of it's core teams, the high-profile safety team. What else lies in the future of this so called non-profit?
I think the goal behind buying reddit's data is to feed AI models how humans converse in different contexts and languages. This knowledge can't be found in books or libraries. Sam arguably owns more than Steve Huffman and he's not going to let it fizz out.
But here's the kicker, there are more confidently incorrect answers on reddit than any place, so how are they planning to filter fake data from real. That is my concern for now. I think there are better examples of finding human conversations than Reddit. The internet is not an accurate representation of people irl so letting AI feed on this data cannot lead to the promised land imo.
Google heavily favors reddit for search results due to real user opinions. When people ask chatgpt for the best restaurants, cars, or places, it will take those answers from reddit.
This might change in the future but for many companies like Open AI and google, reddit is their best bet for now.
yes but the problem I was pointing out is what happens when users start looking for answers that cannot be fulfilled with opinions. That's where Google is losing its authority these days. If you google a question, you get different answers each time, many of which contradict each other. If a question has a specific answer, Google is unable to point it out due to being saturated with wrong info.
To add to the agony, Reddit's content is heavily moderated by people who are biased, so how is that going to translate for the masses?
