Arrr mateys, listen up! Reddit be gettin' a dose o' AI from Google soon. Gather 'round and learn all ye need to know about this newfangled contraption. Yarrr, the future be lookin' mighty interesting indeed!
Arr matey! Google and Reddit have struck a grand deal worth a hefty sum of $60 million, but the scallywags of Reddit be mighty upset about it. Ye see, Google be planning to use the content posted by Reddit users to train its AI models, particularly the newfangled Google Gemini AI suite. Aye, it be a smart move, for Reddit be full of information and users speak in a manner that Google be hoping will make its AI more savvy and chatty. But alas, this means that anything ye post on Reddit now be fodder for the AI engine, a fact that many users be none too pleased about.Now, me mind drifts to the days of yore when MIT birthed a mad AI beast trained on Reddit, but let's hope Gemini be a bit more well-behaved. The deal, announced by Reddit in a blog post, also be aiming to make it easier for landlubbers to find Reddit content through Google search. Yet, many a Redditor be grumbling about the deal, citing privacy concerns, worries about toxic AI output, and some just don't want their precious posts used to train an AI.But avast, me hearties! Reddit's terms say they can do what they please with yer posts, for ye be the product they be sellin'. It be a relief to see a company actually payin' for AI training data instead of snatching it for free. Some users be cryin' foul, demandin' a slice of the AI pie, but that be a fool's errand. If this deal can truly improve Google Gemini and search engines, it be a fair trade - though Reddit should be more transparent about how they use yer data. Aye, a few lines in the terms won't cut it, me mateys!
