Reddit is now in a big legal fight against AI that could set precedents, filing a federal lawsuit against Perplexity AI and three other entities for allegedly harvesting the social platform's vast repository of conversations without explicit permission from Reddit. Moreover, the online discussion site has also previously argued that its content is being mined and repackaged for artificial intelligence systems in deals it never approved. This move by Reddit clearly shows how the value of user generated data has exploded as AI models race to train on human voices and real world interactions.
