For all of its teenage angst & questionable individual forums, Reddit has been a rich source of info for many years — often the first hit on Google for pithy & helpful answers to varied questions. (As with all social media, a user’s experience depends on the engagement they choose.)
It has also undergone considerable enshittification the past couple of years, including scraping users’ data for AI.
A few days ago, Reddit launched its “Reddit Answers” section, which is its interactive AI-driven knowledge base derived from users’ original content. After testing it with a simple techy question, I got good info but with this disclaimer: “Reddit answers are AI-generated from redditors’ posts and comments and may not be accurate.”
WTF? After 13 years, including acting as mod, I think I’m going to let Reddit continue to enshittify without me.
