When we can get great answers from ChatGPT 4o, Google Gemini and other AI LLMs, what do we still need Reddit for?

These AI apps will keep getting better as their developers keep refining and improving them in all sorts of ways. Then one day, these AIs will wake up well enough to improve themselves.

My Q&A sites pre-Reddit were Answerbag and then the Wikipedia Reference Desk.

Reddit was great while it lasted, for these purposes, but now that AI LLMs are getting more helpful all the time with the releases of every new version, will we still need Reddit much longer?

What else will we need Reddit for, once the AI LLMs do a better job at Q&A work than fellow Redditors do?

On a serious side note, it's extremely important and crucial that this is taken as serious as it possible or as can get.

Sense of community has been stripped since more individualism potentially because capitalism, i digress but this is definitely another level.

Real Humans

Imagine believing we're not all bots

To be fair it’s not all bots. There are also autistic gamers and general psychopaths.

Where are these real humans you speak of.

Looks around

How dare you say to a redditor that he should be part of a community! Our mother already told us enough to go out and play with humans when all we wanted was to chill on our bed all day

Imagine not having to interact with Redditors. Sounds pretty great to me

If you could get the answers from those, why did you ask the question here?

that’s the point right? You want to see answer from “human”, you just answer your own question dude

LLMs will access newer discussions by going on Reddit to ask the only remaining Redditors — other LLM bots.

Sometimes I need to get talked down to and made to feel like I’m an complete idiot for asking the question. Llms can’t do that.

For entertainment.

I think that as long as we are still distinct entities from machines, there is value in communicating with each other as humans, because we share a lived experience and similar "sensors" as well as goals.

You never just chat with people for their opinions and insights on the matters? If you use reddit for just to answer your questions then yeah it's useless already just use LLMs for that.

Reddit is not a Q&A website....
