Lol. Lmao even.

Wong said the company was focused on convincing users to come straight to the platform, rather than via a search result. She also touted Reddit as an antidote to AI-generated content. “You see these accidents of AI slop and AI advice – Reddit doesn’t have that,” she said. “It’s not clean. It’s messy, in that it has lots of different pieces of advice that you have to sift through. It’s not manicured down to one answer for you, but that’s kind of the point.”

  Yeah Reddit probably has as much AI slop as any other site on the web. They’re not even a little immune to this.

It’s true that is favoured by the search engines and it has a lot of different communities. But it’s impossible that they haven’t noticed the AI slop.
