No shit sherlock, reddit terms of service allows them to use the content you create commercially so it's surprising it hasn't been done earlier :)

Considering the whole reddit subculture of meme, private joke, and weird slangm and conversation full of Dunning Kruger, comm'on we're all guilty of that . I am not a language model training on reddit would be more accurate than chatGPT.

I am not really sure on which licence is the content we publish on the fediverse, but considering the level of shitpost, and the leftist tendency on the fedi. I am curious about what an AI trained here would say eat the rich, Blahaj is so cool !!!, Micro$oft is evil use GNU/Linux, Prolatariate dictatoraship is overrated we want a catgirl dictatorship Sound like it could be an awesome AI, can't wait so see business consultants using it :)

ChatGPT and most other AI apps are trained on Reddit and have been since they've been publicly released. I remember TalkToTransformer in 2019 would say Redditisms like "fellow redditor" or talk about being in a sub to every other prompt.

Wasn't exclusivity for AI access the reason for the API change in the first place?

Correct, the API changes were made because of AI, Search Engines
