I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

    I used Power Delete Suite about a month or so ago, it’s foss and it worked great.

    I set it to delete each comment, but in case Reddit tries to “roll back” my deletes I also set it to manually edit and save every comment to something (ex. “comment removed”), before doing the delete. It took a good hour to get through all my comments.

    I also decided not to delete my 15yo account. My logic here was perhaps that will be a protection from Reddit resurrecting my comments or account in some way, since it’s still an active account. It just sits there empty now.

      I deleted my ancient accounts a while ago. Let them have my random comments and snide jokes. Any LLM trained against my account would get decommed quickly

      Unfortunately, they still have your comments saved in a database somewhere for LLMs to work on.

      Why are we calling them AI when they aren’t? Why is AGI now what we’ve been calling AI all this time? Is it all just marketing and did “news” outlets just go with it because it was easier?

        As someone who studied CS and has followed the field of AI for a long time, you have it backwards. Machine Learning and GPTs like ChatGPT have always fallen under the umbrella of AI. Using “AI” to refer exclusively to AGI is a new trend.

        To be a bit combatative here, in my opinion this new definition of “AI” that some people insist on using is either repeated by people who don’t understand the history of the terms, or intentionally spread to mislead people by others who want to win an argument by redefining terms.

        I’ll keep repeating this until someone answers it: name one task an AGI can do with text input and text output, that an LLM can’t do.
