So we have all this data, but still there do not seem to be a reasonable way to search comments within Reddit...

Cost. We could have implemented comment search 8 years ago. Actually, we did implement it. But it just cost way too much to maintain the index.

Why do you not allow google to index discussion threads?

Sometimes I can remember the comments on an article, but not the article itself. Unfortunately I can't search google using comment text, because Reddit doesn't allow google to index its comments.

Back in 2007, mobile phones used a system called T9 from Nuance corp which was trained on a word corpus taken from IRC and similar chats. This caused all kinds of issues - the mobile phones would accept offensive words like "naziparking" but reject normal language like "world peace". Using reddit may lead to ... surprises.

Side note, "naziparking" is a word people say....?!?

How one would use such technology? Let me rephrase - how would YOU use this technology if you had it? Imagine you have a bot that convincingly passes the Turing test - what would you do with it? Build a chatbot business? B2C or B2B? Sell it to one of the big companies and if yes then how much do you think it would go for? Give it to OpenAI? Open source it? If you answer yes to any of this questions, then why? Edit: l…

Build a household AI, like JARVIS from Iron Man.

Edit: Corrected.

As a frequent Redditor, this AI is going to be very witty. They should limit it to top comments only, and for training, you might as well assume 90% of top comments are sarcastic/tongue in cheek. Or let a user dial the sarcasm/wittiness/seriousness as they want it, kind of like TARS from 'Interstellar'.

“Witty” isn’t the first thing that comes to mind to describe reddit. I do look forward to hearing Siri telling me to get raped every time I summon it.

How good is it? Can it talk to me, learn what I know, and more importantly learn what I DON'T know? Can it use that information to help me learn various things? Online lectures are great, but a personalized tutor could change things. If I restate back my understanding of a subject, and it clearly tells me why I'm mistaken, that's useful. Reddit does this, kind of, today... but it's not really from an informed positio…

It can learn from you and from other people, plus it has a vast internal knowledge base so it will know something that you don't know.

While it can answer your questions and check your understanding (it's a First Order Logic application), I haven't thought of the educational applications but I don't see why not... Thank you for bringing this up.

Didn't msft do the same thing with twitter and end up with racist bot? I am not sure how this will turn out.

Microsoft's bot (Tay) learned as people talked with it. People took advantage of that and basically attacked it with racist things which meant it ended up learning to be a racist.

I remember FYAD doing the same thing to an eliza implementation that had learning back in the day, in like 2004. Plus ca change...

T9 would autocomplete my name to "Asian Lung," which was hilarious to my high school friends. And to be fair, I am Asian and I do have lungs.

Hacker News would probably a much better source in this sense, even though there are far fewer comment here.

Oh god, you'll have an AI that disagrees just for the pure joy of disagreeing.
