    I think that’s part of why they stopped allowing third party apps, they were worried our (there?) data was going to be used to train AI. I assume whatever is restricting that, also restricts the search results.

      That was their excuse. The real reason was they couldn’t monetize data when people used third party apps, or shove useless features from their shitty app into peoples faces.

          Because banning third party apps from using the api has nothing to do with AI.

        You don’t think monetizing data means using it train AI?

        Who cares what /u/cincinatticatlover69 thinks about the sandwich /u/someshittypopculturepun ate for lunch other AI looking to monitor human communication habits.

      They didn’t ban third party apps. They increased the pricing for using the api to a rate higher than most third party apps could afford with their business models.

      Like if someone wanting to train some ai on reddit would pay those insane prices for the API instead of just scraping for free.

      Openai pirated millions of books via books2/zlibrary to train their model, they don’t care about copyright
