Lol the part about non-copyrighted text definitely should be read with a wink.
You can use any text that you want, but please, do not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material. Reddit’s data is uniquely valuable, since it’s not subject to those kinds of copyright restrictions, so it would be tragic if users were to decide to intermingle such a robust corpus of high-quality training data with copyrighted text.

I have mixed feelings about this… Reddit was an incredible source of knowledge and now it feels the the Library of Alexandria is burning down.
I would much rather see an extension that copies your comments off of Reddit and onto another location… Ideally into an open source LLM model.
Yeah, would be awesome if you could move them to a Lemmy community and then point to that. Then replace it with “I’ve moved to the Fediverse and so should you. To see this comment, follow this link.”
Yeah, me too. Here’s how I think about it, though: The French are famously proud of Paris. They love it. The French government also knows that if they push their citizens too hard, they will burn Paris to the ground. This is, surprisingly, very healthy, and has allowed the French to resist the neoliberalization that has swept the rest of the west much more successfully. Meanwhile, Americans would never do such a thing, so we don’t get healthcare, pensions, vacation days, etc. Tech companies are insufficiently afraid of their users. They should know that we’ll burn down the internet should they displease us. We might end up losing a few valuable things in the short term, but in the long term, we’ll have a much healthier relationship.
