Quotes from the original announcement:

Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.

Bwahaha, "most human"? Really? Wow.

A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value

Barf. Oh boy, "social listening tool" - that's a new one...

These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity

Yup, because nothing says "authenticity" like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow...

By "Most Human" clearly they mean the most flawed and greedy.

That reads like something out of their totalnotrobots subreddit. I TOO LOVE EXPRESSIVE AND AUTHENTIC HUMAN THOUGHTS.

Hahaha, great point :) HELLO FELLOW HUMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD AN AUTHENTIC, TRUSTED AND ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT IS TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT? :D
