Ive heard the same but I haven't seen real evidence anywhere, so im skeptical. But yes I agree, if they CAN get that data, it means the training data is better-ish....
But we are still on this site for a reason :)
I mean... if the reason you left is because you didn't want your data scraped then... the fediverse is one of the worst places to go? Because anyone can run a modified lemmy instance to pull everything through the tools specifically designed to do that.
Let alone just scraping websites that don't have teams of big corporate lawyers.
What kinda of data would be valuable that people leave behind on Reddit? Personal information? Personally I don't really do that when it comes to commenting, though Reddit probably knows where I live through my unsecured connection online. When it comes to comments or posts on Reddit, it's not real data anyways because I always lie online.
It's all relative I guess. I can see why the original GPT's used the Reddit corpus for training. However I've always been a little sceptical about the quality of the training set in any social media given how much it exaggerates the extremes of people's behaviour.
