True, but it might consider it "regular talk". I don't really believe that (realistically) a handful of users speaking pirate would taint chat GPT. It's more-so for anyone who wants to (temporarily) contribute to the discussion about how their favorite protesting subreddits should maliciously comply with forced reopening. I personally feel that I would not like Reddit to sell access to my comments to be used for AI training, so if I hadn't already deleted my accounts, I would taint them knowing that I'm not providing Reddit anything of value.
Ideally users would leave Reddit ASAP, but in the interim, while promoting the fediverse alternatives on Reddit, I think coded language would be the most consistent with the maliciously complaint John Oliver pictures posted to various forced-to-open subreddits.
Edit: I might have misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you meant that pirate speak would still be useful for training AI models. My bad! I blame the pirate speak!
I was saying that: A) ChatGPT is already fluent in good-enough pirate speak, and B) It would be possible to have ChatGPT convert modern English speech into said good-enough pirate speak using a userscript. Even if it didn't affect their data collection or AI models trained on the text, it would still be distracting and annoying for users, which might push some people away from Reddit.
That makes sense, I didn't even think about that aspect of it. Obviously users seeing posts of (Sexy Captain) John Oliver will know that those users are protesting, but seeing pirate-speak comments in non-protesting posts would also cause users to be reminded of the protest (if pirate-speak caught on large-scale and was associated with the protest).
I was thinking more small-scale individual-level and not the large-scale that (Sexy Captain) John Oliver posts have become. It would be nice if it caught on to a large scale like you suggest. My biggest gripe with these protest discussions being on Reddit is that Reddit is still benefiting from that activity and this would be my way of mitigating that.
Honestly, anything to fuck with Reddit is a W in my book.
