A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I didn’t try this yet but why the fuck would Reddit even need an ai. Does anyone care? Will anybody pay for it? Or is it just because Reddit is a public company and stonks need to go up?
With AI you can fake engagement, which convinces shareholders you are much valuable. Share price go up, free money
I've actually found it useful. I searched Reddit for a specific technical question and it responded with "Here's what other users asked, what people said in the comments, and the links to their posts.
Although, I did a standard search for Reddit, and the AI appeared instead of the results. I did not intentionally summon the AI. It's also terribly prone to hallucinations and lying.
"other users have said Kill Yourself"
