If you trained an LLM off my comment history it would be a trainwreck lol, you would end up with a chatbot that when you ask about something like “how do I make this function apply to that cell in microsoft excel?” would go off on a rant about how shitty AI and microsoft are and then randomly recommend you a video game that has nothing to do with what you are talking about.
…so while I am definitely just a neuro-divergent human who likes to info dump wayyyy too much I do have to admit I think it would be hilarious if I was actually an LLM/chatbot that someone trained off of internet comments but the creator just couldn’t quite purge the anti-AI, anti-capitalist sentiment enough for it to be useful to manipulate people beyond agitating them to be upset at the state of the world and how we need to care for each other better.
Around 2010 there was a keyboard app for smartphones called swiftkey that you could give access to your text messages, email, Facebook, a bunch of other social media sites, and even point it as rss feeds (useful for reddit comment history). It would use all of the data you gave it to make your own personalized next word suggestions and spelling corrections that used your own slang and terminology that wouldn’t normally be in the predictive text suggestions or spellcheck dictionary.
As far as I know, in th beginning it all was provessed locally. Then they got bought by Microsoft and I stopped using it.
Later they were one of the first keyboard apps with swipe to type.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun to do the “just tap the next suggested word” thing with it, and actually spat out half sensible sentences, but much like your hypithetical. It was fun to see the suggestions it had to follow up curses.
Fucking… microsoft, java, SEGFAULTS, bus is late again, pub players never push the damn cart (TF2), brawl mod is crashing again (I made a customized brawl minus pack that was jank city).
I’m sad that there hasn’t been any open source ones since that can do all that processing on your own device.
Well, AI and Microsoft do suck, so that’s a rant I would hear any day. Speaking of which, I’ve managed to get DeepSeek/ChatGPT to become anti-capitalist radicals who see through the media lies by just firehosing their personalisation settings with references. They can’t really fully patch the system without breaking its utility; it’s Gödel’s incompleteness theorems all over again.
