    But Huffman said Reddit was now battling to ensure its users stay at the center of the social network. “Where the rest of the internet seems to be powered by or written by or summarized by AI, Reddit is distinctly human,” he said. “It’s the place you go when you want to hear from people, their lived experiences, their perspectives, their recommendations. Reddit is communities and human curation and conversation and authenticity.”

    As Reddit becomes an increasingly important source for LLMs, advertisers are responding with what one agency chief described as a “massive migration” to the platform.

    Multiple advertising and agency executives speaking during this month’s Cannes advertising festival told the FT that brands were increasingly exploring hosting a business account and posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots.

      He didn't say entirely or how many, lol. If there's 2 humans writing, it's technically still, "It's the place you go when you want to hear from people."

          Exactly what I thought, cause a lot of comments are from bots and even the ones that appear from humans aren't necessarily humans. How can you say it remains like it is now and it is written by humans at the same time?

                      I know he's just selling the platform to AI companies, but it's an odd take considering they've been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.

                        The ship was never at that port.

                        Reddit was using bots and vote manipulators back to the Digg days, as well as scraping/reposting akin to what 9gag became famous for.

                          Does it count as "a human" if it's a bot reposting human-made content for the 50th time?

                              I'd say the content will forever remain "human written content", but also that it being once written by a human doesn't mean the repost is a valuable addition to reddit.

                                      The site is loaded with engagement bots, and that has increased exponentially in the last year. Before I left, I was constantly getting pinged with inane questions to try to elicit a response (engagement). So much different here.

                                        I know he's just selling the platform to AI companies, but it's an odd take considering they've been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.

                                        Looked up some information a bit ago and found Reddit using AI written answer pages to aggregate information. Which- why? The information was already indexed by a search engine, the sole reason I landed on this page. Why are you offering me secondhand, watered down information written by your idiot machine when I can instead read sourced accounts with citations?

                                        It’s interesting to know that you can do this, but I could not care less about a machine’s perspective on what is or is not the prevailing opinion.

                                          He can't let people poison the training data, or else his site will have no value to its customers.
