Thank you. I can't really fathom why the BBC would not think to link to the _actual_ source of this news.

> How can facebook turn a dumpster fire like reddit in a bot that response with more empathy than a human? Because people who say “Reddit is a dumpster fire” are usually just thinking of r/Politics, RedPill, TheDonald, LateStageCapitalism, basically any remotely political subreddit... when, in reality, there are plenty of subreddits where quality conversation can be had and some where people just share art or animal…
Now if they also include everything from /r/subredditSimulator then this could all be really interesting

#35> Numerous issues arose during longer conversations. Blender would sometimes respond with offensive language, and at other times it would make up facts altogether. I mean, to be fair, I've had many conversations like that...

#38How can facebook turn a dumpster fire like reddit in a bot that response with more empathy than a human? Didn't Facebook just merge all fb messenger and whatsapp data and trained a NN on the new chat db?
To even have a snowball's chance at success, they would have had to make use of reddit's voting system. Tons of toxicity and disinformation still makes it up into highly upvoted comments, but I'd expect throwing away heavily downvoted comments to exclude a good fraction of the utter crap.
