Reddit doesn\u2019t seem to be too worried about the AI-powered conversational chatbots like the ones Google and Microsoft revealed this week, based on a statement the company shared with The Verge<\/em>. Shifting from traditional search to ChatGPT-like bots could erase the strategy of appending \u201creddit\u201d to your searches<\/a> to find human-sourced information instead of SEO-optimized garbage.<\/p>\n

But Reddit believes the chatbots won\u2019t replace actual human connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI chatbot technologies are still new and something we\u2019re exploring and keeping our eyes on,\u201d said Reddit spokesperson Nick Singer. \u201cThough, there will always be a need for genuine community and human connection, which can be aided by tools like this. We see chatbots being used in fun and innovative ways to complement community and human connection \u2014 not replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conversational AI tools like ChatGPT have exploded in popularity because they can be quite fun to talk to. And by integrating them heavily with search, Google\u2019s Bard<\/a> and Microsoft\u2019s new Bing<\/a> could make search more enjoyable than before. But there are a lot of problems with AI-assisted search<\/a>, including the potential to report inaccuracies as fact, as Bard did in official Google marketing materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One of the reasons people often trust Reddit, on the other hand, is that users will generally upvote the good stuff and downvote the bad stuff. If you give bad information or blatantly lie, your comment may not make it to the top of a thread. Reddit isn\u2019t immune<\/a> to misinformation<\/a>, but generally, I feel I can trust highly upvoted comments in big communities more than a Google result from a site I may not recognize. You can also further scrutinize information on Reddit by looking at people\u2019s post histories and asking them questions; with a chatbot, you have to hope it\u2019s giving you good citations.<\/p>\n

I also want to point out that Reddit\u2019s statement says it\u2019s exploring AI chatbot technologies, too, so perhaps we\u2019ll soon be talking with Reddit to find stuff on Reddit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
