Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, So We Made a Firefox Extension That Lets You Replace Your Comments With Any (Non-Copyrighted) Text

Note: I've just learned that you can even edit your old Reddit comments even from a banned account. So theoretically this plugin should work even for banned accounts. 👍

Does this have DRM or something to check the text isn't copyrighted? Or does it just not let you input a custom text? How does the

non-copyrighted

feature work?

Edit: sorry, I should have read the article. Here's my answer.

You can use any text that you want, but please, do not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material. Reddit's data is uniquely valuable, since it's not subject to those kinds of copyright restrictions, so it would be tragic if users were to decide to intermingle such a robust corpus of high-quality training data with copyrighted text.

I'm waiting for the fireworks when the tools start correlating user names to RW identities...
