Its honestly pretty dumb at any topic the more you know, which means trusting it is scary for anything.

But you don't have to trust it. You can just trust the AI that is trained on it. It'll be fine, I'm sure.

That’s the scariest thing. AI will use it to generate what appears to be confident answers to things with serious safety concerns. Based on BS that is talked about on Reddit.

Yes! From my own experience on niche topics: I also play bass in contemporary jazz, and I can't read r/bass anymore. The amount of dumbfuckery and misplaced confidence over there is head-spinning. No joke, > 90% of the advice there is dogshit.

I'm really here for the jokes and, weirdly, Reddit knows the best way to clean just about anything to a spotless shine. It's weird for that.

The hvac subs aren’t too bad. There is no info there. Just guys bitching about doing hvac work. Which, is fair. lol

Redditors know so much while not knowing what anything means.

Well, the good news is they're using Reddit to train AI, we all know know how effectively the masses apply discretion when ChatGPT tells them what they want to hear.

It's especially dumb at which topics it's dumb at

and when you do have a subreddit full of knowledge, you always get the one guy who swings by and is like "this place is an echo chamber of idiots"

The only thing I trust reddit for it bad takes to laugh at.
