Google training their AI on reddit was stupid as fuck.

Yeah, you'd spend more time filtering out nonsense than you would save vs actually implementing some decent logic.

Maybe use AI trained from a better source to help filter the nonsense from Reddit, and then have a human sample the output. Maybe then you'd get some okay training data, but that's a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
