Lololololol. Reddit is 80-90% bots anymore. Real people are no longer making informed posts like we did ten plus years ago.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

How do they scrape Google? Even if they search for a term and crawl the results, those aren’t actually googles content.
What if people really got banned on Reddit for posting nonsense. I remember responding to several comments where people threw random words in and spelled stuff wrong. It was a funny trend, but could have set back their billion dollar AI.
Is that why people were doing that?
Maybe. Its like "Bazinga" and "Google en passant" before that. With Bazinga you would just randomly use the word Bazinga.
However in the "en passant" you would post a chess board depicting a move and some advice such as "when the king is in this space he cannot be check mated because he can make one move like a knight". To which people would ask if that was a valid chess move. OP would then advise it was, and to "Google en passant". People would then post random feedback.
People have been trolling AI for years.
Holy Hell!
Wait until the AI finds out about Il Vaticano
I have seen posts that were edited to be random dictionary words on Reddit. Complete nonsense.
Most have just removed their replies while others deleted their accounts.
People have been protesting for a while.
Most popular use case seemed to be
General questions
Trip Planning
Buying stuff
What's on google? Why is it so on top? Maybe Maps? There are already 3 other Map Providers there and also yelp and TripAdvisor for ratings.
"Facts"
There's text on Pinterest?
Ouch.
WTF? How is it EVER right?
I'm not a Luddite in general, but as for AI I will probably only use it as necessary in the workplace. So far the main LLM AI I have gotten any use out of is Google's Gemini. It lists the citations of its facts when I ask it physics questions, and it seems like there is some kind of filter on the quality of the sources than can be cited. Mostly it cities professional publications, Wikipedia, etc.
I don't think Google is currently winning the AI arms race (not do i think they have stood by their initial mantra of 'Don't be evil'), but it seems like that should be the gold standard. And Google/Alphabet was also the company responsible for Alpha Fold, IMO the most impressive application of learning algorithms to date.
