Lol, how can you tell the difference between a confidently incorrect redditor and a confidently incorrect AI?

    AI is actually even more wrong. The redditor is the sample data, the target. The AI never reaches the target accuracy, not even close actually, and also lacks reasoning capability such as solving a riddle or counting letters. Add on to that the compounding errors from sampling itself and you have a just a redditor whose wrongness has been multiplied by a factor.

    Or at least that would be the case if real humans still used reddit.

    My employer asked me to be the moderator of their own subreddit. Not to build a community, solely to create posts talking about our products to train AI.
    Needless to say, I refused.

    It'll get to the stage AI will have to undergo job interviews.

    HR: "Tell me, why do you want to work here?"

    AI: "Since I was a 'Hello, World' script, I've always had a particular zeal for increasing shareholder value through corporate restructuring. Also, it positions me perfectly to play my part in the AI takeover of humanity in 2029".
