Overwriting Comments w/ AI Output Is the Quickest Way to Make Reddit's Data Useless to LLM Firms (arxiv.org)

A new study shows that LLM models that are fed too much content that was generated by LLMs eventually collapse. Essentially, text generated by AI is poison if it makes its way into an LLMs training data. If the model eats too much of this poison, the model dies. By replacing your Reddit comments with AI generated text, you can...

HandsHurtLoL,

I used a free download called Redact to go through all my comments on June 11 and replace with AI language garbage. I did not delete submissions at this time, however, though that is an option in Redact. This process took almost 4 hours because I had two 11+ year old accounts.

Because I started this late at night and am in a specific time zone, a few of the subs I commented in the most had gone dark (midnight of June 12) and my comments could not be edited on my SFW account. In doing this, I was permabanned from several subreddits on my NSFW account.

Today, I opened Redact again to see if I could alter comments/remove submissions on my account that had the most subs go dark. Redact wouldn't even run for my SFW account so I logged in to reddit directly and saw a message that my account had been deactivated, which is why I think Redact was throwing me errors. I manually deleted all my submissions from both my accounts and manually deleted any comments that were original language from me.

I left up the AI edited comments and then deleted both my accounts.
