Comment Does Reddit themselves "own" that data? (Score 1) 35
Since all of that data comes entirely from posts by users, can reddit itself claim to own any of the information that they have on their website (outside of whatever stupid TOS crap they have that says whatever you post is theirs)? Since the public are by and large the originators of all of their content, it's not like they put in the work for that content that Perplexity and others are scraping.
The bigger issue it seems like is the lack of attribution, with Perplexity and others frequently not citing where the information comes from. Can't they just build the A.I.s to cite their sources whenever it outputs something that has a definite source, or are we past all that since they've already used all this content as training data already.
