Reddit signed a deal with Google to use its data to train LLMs. To celebrate, we made a firefox extension that lets you replace all your comments with any text of your choosing. All we ask is that you not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material, and we wouldn't want Reddit's uniquely valuable data to become hopelessly intermingled with that of litigious copyright-holders.

@theluddite This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you!

Only suggestion I'd make is it replaces all comments with the same thing. If you paste in some open domain content, say a novel by EM Forster, that it would randomly pick a section of the pasted stuff that is roughly the same # of words as what its replacing.

This would make the replacement more random and less obvious, hopefully throw a wrench in Reddit's auto detect and rollback.

u has a github I could mebbe sketch up a patch?
