Generative AI doesn’t understand anything, it just adds it to it’s model. If more people are being sarcastic than genuine in the data set, that’ll be more represented in the generated text.
AI could categorize users by competency (i.e. how often they discuss specific topics and agree with some corpus), but I doubt it does that. It’s probably just taking posts at face value.
Yet I still add “Reddit” to a search query when looking for product reviews or technical/home maintenance support, lol
I can do it really well manually…but Google’s AI sucks at it.
They forgot to account for trolls…and how often trolls would get upvoted for the lulz
sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI
I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that

Doing that would require significantly more compute power, so there’s little economic incentive.
We need to stop calling it AI. It’s LLM and there is no intelligence.
