      Unless they’re leasing the information every year, which would essentially make their ai dependent on the data, but that data is probably the best source to use on the internet. Also, without continuously using the most current comments and posts, the ai model won’t be able to give any info about current events topics and such.

          As now countlessly proven by all the lawsuits or potential lawsuits abound, it’s still pretty easy to show what ai models were trained on. It’s the entire reason a company is paying reddit for the data instead of scraping it in various ways (ways that were easier before reddit closed off their api). Maybe in a few years time they’ll have it worked out to where there’s no way to pick up on where an ai scraped it’s data from, but they aren’t there yet.
