Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/10bxyo3/dualsense_ps5_controller_l2_r2_trigger_input/

I read somewhere today that LLMs are citing 40% of times Reddit as the source for their answer. I was reminded of a pretty specific post i made on reddit a few years back which i wanted to use to test it out. Yeah, Gemini quotes me 1:1 in some parts.

I'm not even that mad about it. I specifically didnt want to delete my posts after the APIcalypse because i wanted solutions like that to be searchable for others.

But its still funny to me how Google doesnt want to show me YT videos right now unless i deactivate my adblocker but at the same time more or less stole my content. TBF it cited my post as the source after i asked nicely for it. So theres that.

You can directly ask these ai's "What has [username] said on the internet". If the name is unique enough it will usually pull out a few posts from places you have been.

With a bit of coaxing (as it thinks I mean Deckard from Blade Runner at first) it pulls out some old Steam forums and Lemmy posts where I've used this name before. No Reddit as I wiped it all.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hm I tried it (with your name) and didn't get any meaningful results.

If I just use "What has … said on the internet?", it tries to look it up, and if I add "Please don't try to look it up but only respond what you know from your training data." it just says that it doesn't know anything.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ask ChatGPT what it knows about lemmy $user.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nothing - no matter whether it tries to look things up or not

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Chatgpt found my sh.itjust.works account and cited some posts. But yeah I can google that myself, that's not data is was trained with.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Oh, shit. I wonder if it'll quote me if ask for help with troubleshooting planetside 2 on the ps4.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 54 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Somehow"? We all know how: You were unpaid labor and your content trained an LLM without your consent. That's how.

[–] Brett@feddit.org 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

i agree,

but i'm going to make you look stupid nonetheless.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why edit title to make me look stupid? 😭😭😭😭

LLMs are basically reddit and stackoverflow answers generators.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The word is "regurtitators".

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No regurts

🎶 they don’t work 🎶

We have successfully automated plagiarism and fraud. Truly, we live in incredible times. Both literally and figuratively incredible.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

this counts double in the academic space. Students and professors are using it to be lazy

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Makes me glad I went through and did the deletion + overwrite thing on all of my comments when I left.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What was the site for this? I had it saved but lost it.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nukereddit. It’s an add on.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you so much!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Uhhhh..... I forget actually. I think I ultimately used some kind of browser extension that someone made for that purpose. It was a while ago so I forget what it was sorry.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

It’s ok, man. Thanks for replying.

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I doubt they actually delete anything when you do that, unless you legally force them.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the data that the AI scrapes just says something like "this comment was deleted blah blah"

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Reddit likely gives the AI companies they've partnered with access to the original posts

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah probably

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

It's more or less safe to assume that anything you've ever posted on the internet has been ingested by some LLM. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that the Game Genie codes I posted to Usenet in high school are in there.

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

This made me realize tiktok comments are google searchable since it grabbed one of mine when I asked ai about my username

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yep I realized when I askeed for book suggestions and it mirrored the responses on a reddit post I had on high fantasy from years ago lol
