Well, here's the part where I hope people are able to make a Wikipedia alternative so we can turn Wikipedia into a cesspool to ensure the enshitification of gøøg|e. That, and if I ever get a Wikipedia article made about me (which will probably never happen), I'm signing up with an account and absolutely trashing it to say things that will cause whatever any AI looking at it to spout the most absurd shit.
"wait what if someone asks a question and Google AI quickly directs that person to the most relevant resources. Now wouldn't that be a great innovation."
I started using the app regularly as I was looking for a job and I’m surprised by how many post and comment about politics, especially on public posts and treat it like it’s Facebook.
Its extremely helpful that people post that stuff. It shows that they lack the boundaries needed to work in a professional environment and you should avoid hiring them.
Somehow this is worse than Reddit. Sure Reddit isn't good, but at least Reddit was sane enough to understand concepts like 'working too much is deeply unhealthy both physically and mentally' and 'corporations should not hold absolute power'
Generative AI doesn't understand anything, it just adds it to it's model. If more people are being sarcastic than genuine in the data set, that'll be more represented in the generated text.
AI could categorize users by competency (i.e. how often they discuss specific topics and agree with some corpus), but I doubt it does that. It's probably just taking posts at face value.

This is not being done though right? I haven't heard anything about content ranking with connections outside of Google seemingly using authors name is articles from large news sources.
The SEO marketing platform analyzed 100,000 keywords in June and found Reddit was no longer in the top 10 linked domains in Google's AI Overviews.
One incident included when it told a user to put glue on pizza to keep the cheese intact — a suggestion that seems to have been based on a Reddit comment more than a decade ago.
SE Ranking's study also shows that LinkedIn, Wikipedia, and YouTube are in third, fourth, and sixth positions of the top 10 linked domains, respectively.
The SEO tool provider carried out a similar study in February before Google rolled out the AI feature to the public, which found that the overviews included many snippets from forums Reddit and Quora.
Google showed significantly fewer AI Overviews, previously called SGE (Search Generative Experience), in the June study than it did in February.
Liz Reid, the Search VP, addressed the pizza glue fiasco at a recent all-hands meeting, according to audio obtained by CNBC, saying the company would not "hold back features" if there were "occasional problems."
