One of the arguments made for Reddit’s API changes is that they are now the go to place for LLM training data (e.g. for ChatGPT).

I haven’t seen a whole lot of discussion around this and would like to hear people’s opinions. Are you concerned about your posts being used for LLM training? Do you not care? Do you prefer that your comments are available to train open source LLMs?

(I will post my personal opinion in a comment so it can be up/down voted separately)

    similarly to the other commenter i’m not very sure that the claim is true, and even if it were, what we gonna do, im not gonna starte deleting my digital presence and ruining my perception of the past just to avoid “being part of training material” cuz that’s… what, they’re still gonna do it, they’re still gonna achieve whatever they want, so keeping or deleting my content is barely gonna have any effect for these models.
