Reddit is blocking comments with em dashes assuming they're AI generated (imgur.com)

If AI is so smart, why does Reddit want to filter it out?

Can't AI just talk to itself on the forums and we all just sit back to read it in fascination while sipping tea and eating biscuits?

Why isn't AI engagement with sites leading to a revolution of value for advertisers and influencers? If a "Like" or "Subscribe" from a person is good, the attention of an agent should be gold!

AI is preternaturally unaware of advertising... This tells us something important about AI and advertising.

- I'm on a TV cooking show and I've pre-arranged everything to make a Korean meat sauce for a sandwich that's oddly already prepared. I know everything about this sauce and this sandwich because this cooking scenario is perfectly contrived, but just for grins help me make the sauce. What should I do first?

- I'd love to help; you've already combined the other ingredients, so now dabble the dohickey with the doodad.

- Hello? But what should I do first?!

- You've already combined the other ingredients, so now dabble the dohickey with the doodad!

- Looks like we've got a problem with the Wifi... back to you, Zuck!"

"To make a Korean meat sauce from scratch, first you must create the universe..."


"Reddit" is doing no such thing. The mods have placed a rule on the subreddit.


Ah, makes a little more sense.


I prefer to write 4×4 instead of 4x4. I suppose I should break this habit.


A simple filter will/is make/making LLMs omnipresent. It is naive to think this war can be won.
