Reddit fights against AI companies, and sports communities are essential for the new trial of the social media platform.
According to A Sportico Michael McCann report Sunday, Reddit filed a complaint against the company of IA Anthropic, which scratched the publications written by sports fans on the many popular communities focused on the platform. Reddit alleys that Anthropic violated the user contract of the social media site by scraping the content of Reddit users.
According to McCann, “Stracing Reddit Content is described as undergoing Reddit’s obligations to its more than 100 million unique daily users, in particular to protect their privacy. Reddit also supports Anthropic subverts his insurance to users whom they control their expressions, including when the publications of public views are deleted. ”
Reddit plays a key role in the way digitally native sports fans consume the leagues and teams they love. Its sports communities are original content treasures which could prove hypothetically extremely precious for a model of AI language, without compensation to the original author.
In his file, Reddit claims that its users “do not make any advantage of the technology they have helped to create”. An anthropogenic spokesperson said to the media: “We do not agree with Reddit’s claims, and we will defend ourselves vigorously.”
It is easy to see the value in a model of linguism AI Stracing Sports Subdredits. You have to imagine that a large scale, an AI model would be able to create a fairly precise approximation for an online sports fan. This type of model would have many use cases for a large group of stakeholders.
A team or a league could be able to write a better message to its fans base. Social media platforms may be able to publish content generated by AI which gives massive quantities of engagement. Of course, many negative use cases are also quite easy to mention.
This trial will also likely have implications outside of sports. Web scratch is important in Internet communities well outside sports, and a decision in this case could determine how online content is processed with regard to AI in the future.
