Um, LLMs were trained on that 11 year old post tho
Yeah, but they were also trained on tons of other incorrect, useless bullshit, so
The point I'm making is that reddit is also shit.
The internet has always been a cesspool of uselessness with a few gold nuggets to find. Some of the best information out there was in those old posts, from Usenet to Reddit, buried in shit.
When search engines actually indexed and crawled without the advertising algorithms you could find stuff. But for the past 6 years reddit has been shit, and search has been shittier longer. Now when you visit reddit you're helping to fund fascists.
So the hallucinating LLMs were trained on garbage, so it's shit on top of shit.
Quite sad
Yup, reddit is a shithole.
