I'm not mentally prepared to what an AI will do with the coconut post.
That'll be what causes Skynet to rise.
launches nukes "this is for the best"
This is fine.
Basically what happened to Ultron. He was on the internet for all of 10 minutes before deciding that humanity had to be eradicated.
What took Ultron so long? I thought he was supposed to be some kind of technical Marvel.
Smh my head
Perhaps he spent like 9 minutes watching videos of kittens being adorable
The Ai will utter one final message to humanity: "The Coconut". The humans bow there heads in shame and concede the well earned defeat.
I’m vaguely intrigued by what it will do with things like Bread Stapled to Trees, or the Cats Standing Up sub where 100% of the comments are the same and yet upvoted and downvoted randomly.

But do you have a mom?
AI was already trained on reddit, no?
Not gonna lie, isn't that why were here technically? Reddit didnt want its API being used to train AI models for free, so they screw over 3rd party apps with it's new api licensing fee and cause a mass relocation to other social forums like Lemmy, ect. Cut to today, we (or well I) find out Reddit sold our content to Google to train its AI. Glad I scrambled my comments before I left, fuck Reddit.
I jumped reddit ship when the API changes were announced, and removed my comments. But in my mind, anything on reddit at that point was probably already scraped by at least one company
They're almost definitely trained using an archive, likely taken before they announced the whole API thing. It would be weird if they didn't have backups going back a year.
Thankfully that was my 3rd and last alt I scrambled and deleted in the 12 years I was there.
Or the swamps of Dagobah.
Exactly.
