That’s not so different from the current state of the world in which many search results are full of cheap SEO content. Now instead of appending Reddit to my search I just go to chatGPT. Probably similar levels of accuracy between Reddit and GPT anyway while the SEO content is just garbage filler.

Until Search-Engine-Optimization is replaced with Chat-Bot-Optimization..?

A chat bot, like search index, need to updated for new and current events to stay relevant. I can’t see why it can’t be deceived by spams

Around of quarter of GPT's training data was Reddit so in some sense it's already a Reddit response generating API.

This can't be right. Any place I can read about this?

WebText and WebText2 referenced in their papers are corpuses based on Reddit submissions which had a 22% weight in their training model.

This is larger than Wikipedia (3% weight) or either of their two book corpuses (8% each).

The only other data included was a filtered set from Common Crawl (weighted 60%).

I was imprecise with my language before but hopefully that at least provides some clarity.
