This thought entered my mind today as I came across a thread on Quora, and noticed that they have added a feature where ChatGPT would have a go at answering the question.

Today alone I have used a few varying “AI” tools, including one which automatically paraphrases text for you, one which analyses your writing in SwiftKey as you type, and of course the big players like Bard and Bing Chat. It got me thinking about whether these features are actually valuable, and if we would start to see them on this platform.

    Might be interesting to make an read only instance like r/SubredditSimulator that only has bot accounts. maybe with an open source LLM hosted on the server with the instance.

      Great idea, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of.

      I find it strange how this post has become heavily downvoted, I guess some people would rather not think about it at all rather than consider the possibilities.

        probably best to keep it in a corner though, even if they weren’t all Generative AI, reddit got so flooded with repost/LLM bots that it became annoying to read comments on the big subs.
        I don’t want them it to flood lemmy too. It’s nice to known all the content here it human generated. And I’m sure even the people training these models get annoyed by the training data getting filled with AI output.
