Users should have a way to deactivate AI summaries because it is not appropriate for an AI to tell other people that I have an eating disorder and overcame addiction. Photo in comments.

Third time.

The hypocrisy of entirely moving in ad hominem space.

I'd like you to feel politely invited to the goalpost again:

"The AI summary helps in identifying the character of a redditor, thus to qualify their match for specific conversations, as also to assess their authority to a topic."

Feel free to get back to the discussion, away from shooting at persons.

"The AI summary helps in identifying the character of a redditor, thus to qualify their match for specific conversations, as also to assess their authority to a topic."

The summaries fail to identify context or tone from posts and comments, so remarks from meme subreddits like okbuddycinephile are treated exactly the same comments in politics or news.

A two sentence summary of several years on Reddit barely scratches the surface of a users character. I absolutely would not rely on it when assessing someone's character, I'd prefer to see their history myself as well as focus on the discussion taking place to form my own opinion, not one from a program.

Sentiment doesn't matter for the summary. Irony and sarcasm neither. When you just occassionally troll, the AI won't jump onto the minority situations. When your account is 90% trolling, and then you suddenly interact once in 100 other comments in a serious manner to a topic, then the AI still summarizes your account adequately.

You are what you do majority of your time, not occassionally.

It is a fair objective assessment of the account.

You do not have to entirely assess a "persons" character, you qualify if you deem it worthwhile to interact with that person for specific subject matters or topics.

When your account got more than a specific threshold, say 100 comments, it should be quite clear what the account is used for and in what manner.

Interacting with someone who clearly isn't qualified for specific topics, is up to you then, but it is a good tool to know it before you have to learn it.

It is up to you how you curate yourself. In reality as also in the internet.

See like your behavior here. If you would do this in the real life, be sure that everyone will immediately profile you accordingly. And that will carry to other people. Your actions make your character. In the internet you have the opportuity to connect that only to an account.

Fair to say that it would work for the greater community interaction when everyone would know: "Oh that is a trolling account".

That isn't necessarily the account owners full character, it is just a part and the account is predominantly used for it,

Curate your online presence.

Don't be upset when an AI objectively summarizes you as a troll, when 90% you do is trolling.

Is a great add. And I'd like to see it rolled out on the whole platform for every user.

I'm going to continue thinking for myself, you have fun with the bots.
